HARRIET TYSON
HARRIET TYSON, born outside of Portland, Maine in 1908, died in Tucson on Wednesday, Feb. 20, 2008, after a brief illness.
She and her late husband Ty bought a home in La Canada Desert Homes III in 1983 and moved to La Posada in 2003.
Harriet’s childhood in Maine led her to love independence, the outdoors, and family. While raising her family with Ty in Sherborn, Mass., Harriet became a skilled genealogist. She began a lifetime project of a very complete annotated history of her own family going back several hundred years. Because of her activity and thoroughness, she was elected to the Board of the New England Historic Genealogical Society for several terms.
She was a talented cook and hostess, a successful bridge player, a bibliophile, and a skilled fly fisherwoman. She and Ty would often travel to Maine on vacation to fish and spend time with their children and grandchildren.
In her travels, Harriet had a talent for finding overlooked pieces of glassware, paintings and antiques at auctions and country antique shops, which often proved to have unexpected value. She saw the potential in those things and in abandoned barns and buildings along country roadsides. Over the 40 years they lived in Massachusetts, she painted, papered and moved walls, designed custom hardware and accessories and refinished many pieces of furniture for their 200-year old New England colonial home.
Moving to Green Valley increased Harriet and Ty’s opportunity to play bridge and meet new friends. They also used retirement as a time to do extensive traveling and to explore Arizona while continuing to travel to New England when they could.
Eager to learn new things, Harriet bought a computer in 1987 and worked on putting her genealogical research into computer format. She also became increasingly concerned for and supportive of environmental causes. In Pennsylvania, where she and Ty spent summers away from Green Valley, she began shoveling out a small pond, fed by a spring behind her home. Eventually, she had the pond enlarged, which by her own work became a habitat for frogs, turtles, herons, goldfish, snakes, muskrats, and waterborne plants. It is a model of ecological diversity and balance to this day.
Very loyal to her family, she planned joyfully for their visits where ever she lived. She was devoted to her husband and proud of each generation that followed.
She is survived by her daughter Martha T.B. Slayman; her son William F. Yates; five grandchildren and 10 great-granddaughters.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum.

She passed on in her apartment at the Silver Springs Assisted Living Facility in Green Valley with family by her side on Oct. 9, 2008. June was a very special lady. She was especially known for her determination to live, her neverending positive spirit, an incredibly forgiving nature, a love and compassion for others, a willingness and desire to help others in need, and for her wonderful sense of humor and quick wit even in the face of adversity.
Born on June 2, 1925, in Milwaukee, Wis., the daughter of Walter W. Beckard and Helyn (Leist) Beckard, June graduated from Rufus King High School in 1943 as the class Salutatorian. She went on to become Valedictorian of her nursing class, receiving her RN diploma from Chicago University Hospital. June had many wonderful stories to tell of her time in nurses training as well as first job following as a visiting nurse with Sears and Roebuck. She simply loved helping others and others surely loved her in return.
In WWII, June enlisted in the Cadet Nurse Corps and served from 1944-1947 while in taking at University Hospital in Chicago, Ill. and St. John’s Hospital in Springfield, Ill. June met her first husband Dr. Robert Henry Allison (deceased 1975) while she was still in training and he was still in medical school. They married in 1948 and made their first home outside of Chicago, in Warrenville, Ill., where Bob started his first private medical practice in the 1950s.
In the early 1960s, they moved with their three children to Elburn, Ill. where they remained until 1972. It was then that June and Robert moved to Morganfield, Ky. for a semi-retirement where June worked as a public health nurse for the Union County Clinic. In 1972, they relocated to Hoopeston, Ill., where Robert joined a clinic of international doctors.
Following Robert’s death, June returned to nursing, working as a visiting nurse in charge of the Home Health Aids of the Vermillion County Health Department. The favorite part of her work involved caring for paraplegics and quadriplegics in their homes, though she later commented she never envisioned that she herself would one day find herself in their position.
In 1977, she headed west to Denver, Colo. where she joined her daughter, Lorelei, who was studying music at the time. The two of them lived together and loved life to the fullest as college roommates, helping each other make it to the finish line by proofing each other’s work while attending two different colleges. June completed a Bachelor of Nursing Science degree at Colorado Women’s College while in her 50’s, inspiring many while at the same time making many wonderful new friends. Following graduation, she became night supervisor in charge of nursing at Spaulding Rehabilitation Hospital in Denver. It was also in Denver that she met her second husband Harrell Budd (deceased 1989), a geologist. They were married in 1986 in Kauai, Hawaii, then moved to Green Valley to start a make their home and begin a new life together.
June is survived by three children: David John Allison a paralegal and Methodist Lay Minister currently residing in Denver; Suzannah Allison DeSousa, a world traveler and international teacher currently teaching Culinary Arts in Bagdad, Ariz.; and Lorelei Allison Conrad, a retired US Naval Officer, Navy bandmaster, trumpeter, conductor, and most recently an RN who resides in Green Valley along with her husband Raymond H. Conrad, also a professional trumpeter and retired U.S. Navy musician and Maryland Special Police Officer.
June leaves behind one sister Gloria B. Bonesz, also of Green Valley, who is known for her work as Comptroller for the Chicago advertising firm, Weber, Cohen, and Riley, and as head of the quilters of the Lutheran Church of the Risen Savior and former GVR swimnastics instructor. June is also survived by her very dear cousin and cherished friend, Margot Fuller of Kronberg, Germany.
June leaves behind four grandchildren and seven great-grandchildren. They are Vasco DeSousa and his wife Rosina of Abeystwyth, Wales, UK, along with their four children Oscar, Joseph, Hannah, and Esperanca; Dr. Alexandra A. DeSousa and her husband Dr. Michael Proulx of London, England and their two daughters Isabella and Helena; Andrew DeSousa and his wife Aya Octaviani along with their daughter Radina who are all living in Borneo, Indonesia; and Dr. Sarah O. Allison and her husband Paul McGuire who reside in Champaign, Ill. Additionally, she leaves behind four more grandchildren from marriage to Harrell Budd, and many, many wonderful friends throughout the country and abroad, including her longtime companion and dear friend George Friley of Green Valley.
June was an active volunteer in many organizations throughout her life including organizations such as the Geneva Community Hospital Women’s Auxiliary, the Wheaton Weeds, the Eight Ball Committee, the American Heart Association, the Elburn Elementary PTA, the Junior Girl Scouts as Troop #44 Leader in Kaneville, Ill, among many others. She loved learning and loved to travel the country and around the world. June also loved going for a walk with friends and family, hiking, bowling, and was active in Jazzercise and Swimnastics when it was still possible for her to do so. She never passed up an opportunity to sing, or dance, and loved spending time with her family and friends. It was a joy and pleasure for her to go to church and loved being a member of the Lutheran Church of the Risen Savior.
A memorial service in June’s honor will be held on Saturday, Nov. 1, 2008, at 10 a.m. at the Lutheran Church of the Risen Savior located at 555 S. La Canada Dr., Green Valley.
