She and her late sister, Lillian spent their early years assisting their mother and a favourite uncle, the late Bert Harris, in their effort to eke out a living on the farm. These early years provided her with a solid foundation that provided the building blocks for a vibrant and full life. For many years much of her time was spent as a spectator and supporter of the many sporting activities of Hank and her children. As a senior she took up the sport of lawn bowling where she was successful at provincial and national levels. Throughout her life she kept in contact with a her father’s family in England through special cousins, Ann Spires and Bob Harris (Lyn). This led to the reunification of a family divided by distance and two world wars. The Harris clan remains an integral part of the family. In memory of her passing the family will host celebration of her life at W. J. Jones and Son Family Centre, 262 Athabasca Street E. in Moose Jaw from 1:00 to 3:00 pm on September 18, 2009.
