She attended Isabelle Cosmetology School in Lubbock, Texas and then established her clients in Muleshoe, Texas where she met her husband Kay Russell Harmon. She married Kay June 19, 1959, in Muleshoe Texas, and then moved all over Texas continuing her career while Kay opened parts departments for Ford Dealerships. LaQuita had a passion for sports and was a great athlete. She was the pitcher for the Macys Fast pitch traveling team while she attended cosmetology school in Lubbock, Texas. In addition, LaQuita was an excellent artist sharing her paintings with close friends and family. Her need for perfection and continual selfassessment prevented her from exhibiting her art publicly. As her children were growing up, LaQuita was known as the Neighborhood Counselor as all the childrenadolescents of the neighborhood knew that she would listen, guide, protect, and help them when needed.
