HARRISON, Anne P. (nee deFOUBERT) - On Thursday, April 11, 2024, in her 91st year, Anne passed peacefully from this world surrounded by much love.
As a beloved mother, she will be missed terribly by her children, Stuart (Jacquie), Barbara (Wayne), and Colleen; and by her ever-loving grandchildren, Ethan, Liam, Keegan, Mei Lan, Callum, and Ming Li.
Missed dearly by her brothers, John (Joyce) and Nigel; as well as by her nieces and nephews.
In 1960, Anne's adventurous spirit led her to leave home in Cork, Ireland, and venture to Canada with Clem, the love of her life.
Family and friends welcomed the Harrison family wherever they went in urban Scarborough, raising mink in the rural parts of the GTA, or for a brief relocation, and subsequent family visits to Ireland.
Always close to their hearts, Ireland remains a second home to their three children.
After raising their children, Anne became an Executive Secretary at Zynomatic, Pilkington Glass, and later Nestle, Toronto.
Retirement brought them to Castleton, and then Anne to Newcastle after Clem's passing in 2011.
Anne flourished in community activities including various horticultural societies and volunteering as a longstanding member of the United Church Women of Canada, assisting to resettle Syrian refugees, and participating in Soup Sisters.
She touched so many lives with kindness and genuine interest in others.
In lieu of flowers, please consider donating to the Salvation Army. Aquamation has taken place.
A Celebration of Life is scheduled at Newcastle United Church, 84 Mill St. S., Newcastle, ON, at 11:00 a.m., on Saturday, June 22nd.
