In Celebration of

Charlotte Alice "Greta" Harrison

March 10, 1931 -  June 4, 2020

Surrounded by her family, Greta passed away peacefully in her 90th year at her resident home. Greta shared a beautiful life with her loving husband Ken by her side for almost 67 years. Her warm smile, kind heart, and sweet soul will be forever missed by her adoring daughters Heather (Cameron McGregor) and Brenda (John Odam). The most precious Nana to Ashlee (Jamie Ferguson) Cameron and Bradley and cherished Great Nana to Hudson, Charlotte and recently born Addison. The world has lost a kind heart who brought joy, love and support to all the lives she touched. Family was everything to Greta and she spent her life nurturing her loved ones every day. She leaves her sister Dorothy (Oscar Godard), Marie (Alton Kinnear) and brother David (Kim) and so many nieces and nephews who adored Aunt Greta. Predeceased by her loving parents Lorne and Helen Irven, infant brother Dalton, brothers Harold (Betty) John (Margey) Donnie (Marlene) and sister Lorna (Bob Lobb). Special thanks to all the staff at Wildpine Residence for their never ending compassion, unwavering support and commitment that got Greta and her family through trying times. We will be forever grateful. A private family service will be held on Wednesday, June 10, 2020 at Pinecrest Remembrance Chapel. Inurnment to follow at Pinecrest Cemetery. It is our hope to have a Celebration of Life when it is possible for all of us to be together to share our beautiful memories of a life well lived. Donations to the Almonte General Hospital in lieu of flowers is appreciated.

I have so many memories of Greta and Ken growing up. They were friends with my parents (Noella and Greg Morris). She and Ken would often be at our house playing cards with mom and dad. The laughter and the conversations would fill the house. I carry with me so many memories of Greta and Ken during holidays and celebrations. Driving out to the Maritime Provinces with mom, dad, Ken and Greta. I was fortunate to reconnect with her after I adopted my son, Ethan. She liked him a lot and would always ask about him when we talked on the phone. Thanks Greta! I loved going out for breakfast with you, talking on the phone and sharing stories.
