HARRISON, Katherine Elizabeth (Webb) A long-time resident of Kingsville, Harrow, Colchester and Amherstburg, for 88 of her 94 years, Katherine passed away in her sleep at the Village of Winston Park Retirement and Nursing home in Kitchener on March 2, 2005. She is predeceased by her husband Brian (1999), her sisters Margaret and Julia, her brothers Francis and Bradley, and her son Bill. Katherine will be sadly missed by her sister Dorothy Botterill, her three children and their spouses: Bob and Bonnie (nee Egan) Harrison of Port Hope, Denis and Deborah (nee Jenner) Harrison of Stratford (formerly of Windsor), and Susan (nee Harrison) and Hugh Munro of Kitchener, as well as her many grandchildren and their spouses: Charlie and Lisa Harrison, Kathryn Harrison and Alan Wilson, Michelle Harrison, Ryan Harrison, Jordan and Martin Erasmus, Blair Harrison, Kale Harrison, Jamie Munro and Jessie Munro, and her great-granddaughter Tristin Wilson. Katherine worked for many years as an administrative assistant for the Harrow Research Station, and then later for the Harrow Public School and for WOFTA. Her real passion, however, was being a wife, a mother and a grandmother. Katherine was a woman with tremendous energy, warmth and compassion who dedicated her life to caring for her family. In her later years, her love for life led her to travel and she and Brian explored many corners of the world. She will be remembered by all who knew her for her dignity, quiet strength and selflessness. Katherines spirit, positive outlook, determination and love will live on. Many thanks to the staff of the Village of Winston Park Nursing Home and Robertson Brown Health Services as well as longtime family friend Bertha Welzel for their tender care during her final days. A Memorial Service to honour Katherines life will be held on Saturday May 21, 2005 at 11:00 a.m. at the Gerald A. Smith Funeral Home, 197 King St. W., Harrow . Visitation from 10:00 to 11:00 a.m. Memorial donations may be made to the Canadian Diabetes Association or to the charity of your choice. Published in the Windsor Star on 3/9/2005.
