The community of Greenville, Kentucky, is observing the passing of Anita Mary Harralson, who died on January 6, 2026, at eighty-four years of age. Born February 23, 1941, in Muhlenberg County to Clarence and Thelma Putnam (née Wines), her formative years in western Kentucky established a foundation of strong familial and communal connections that guided her lifelong path.
Her vocational life was committed to the field of nursing, concluding her service as a registered nurse at the Christian Health Center in Hopkinsville. This profession demonstrated a deep-seated dedication to aiding others, providing both clinical expertise and compassionate support to individuals during periods of need, which garnered the sincere regard of coworkers and the numerous patients she assisted.
Within her spiritual community, she served for an extended period as the pianist for Second Baptist Church in Greenville. Her musical contributions during services and events offered a harmonious and contemplative atmosphere that supported congregational worship and fostered unity.
Her family held paramount importance in her life. She is survived by her son, Charles Toll (spouse Lori), and her daughter, Charla Coleman (spouse James); her grandchildren Candace Tabor, Craig Tabor, Derrick Vincent, and Andrew Toll; and multiple great-grandchildren.
She was preceded in death by her husband, Doug Harralson; her daughter, Robin Gail Toll; her sister, Deetra Slaughter; and her parents. Additional survivors include her brothers Pat Putnam and Keith Putnam (spouse Genon); her sisters Linda Thompson (spouse Wayne) and Sharon Putnam; and her dedicated caregiver, Lisa Putnam.
A graveside ceremony to commemorate her life is set for Saturday, January 10, 2026, at 11:00 a.m. at Green’s Chapel Cemetery in Greenville, to be led by Bro. Jeremy Teague. During this period of remembrance, her relatives and acquaintances assemble to honor an individual whose considerate nature and steadfast commitment created a lasting impression, exemplifying a life guided by service, faith, and affection.
