Biography

Harper was born on July 23, 1911, in Potomac, Illinois.[1] She graduated from Evanston General Hospital School of Nursing in 1934.[2][3] Harper received her commission in April 1941 at the hospital in Fort Lewis, Washington, becoming a colonel.[3][4] Her overseas assignments during World War II included service in Australia and New Guinea, and Europe. She was known for having a handgun on her at all times in New Guinea.[3] She also served as superintendent of nurses at Chicago Memorial Hospital and Murry Hospital at one point. After World War II, Harper attended Teachers' College, Columbia University, and earned a Bachelor of Science degree in nursing education. She received her master's degree in nursing service administration in 1953.[1]

In October 1955 Hayes became assistant chief of the ANC.[5] On September 1, 1959, Harper became the 11th Army Nurse Corps Chief and she served until August 31, 1963.[6] Under her tenure, the ANC began an intensive recruiting program in 1963 in light of the anticipated build up in Southeast Asia and other military operations, Operation Nightingale, to meet a serious nursing shortage. She received the Legion of Merit, Bronze Star Medal and the Army Commendation Medal.[3] After she left the ANC, Harper moved from Illinois to Chicago to San Antonio, Texas, where she died on December 13, 2000.[1]
