HARRISONUnveiling for Ethel Harrison is scheduled forSunday October 14, 2018 at 1 pm at MountSharon cemetery. Please join us atgraveside to celebrate Ethel and then later atthe home of Alan and Wendy Goldfuss.

A wonder-ful homemaker, who made dinner every nightalong with constant birthday and holiday cel-ebrations, she also became a reading therap-ist after her children were grown. In the late1970s, Ethel became an advocate for healthydiet and lifestyle, in order to ward off heartbypass surgery faced by her her husband,Russ. She was an active member ofWomen's American ORT and Hadassah,serving in many leadership roles and on theirboards. She was extremely well read and of-ten led book groups well into her 80's. Sheloved cultural and culinary events. Her heartand spirit were always open to family, friendsand even strangers as she was in the wordsof her friends, “the hostess with the most-ess”! She demonstrated the highest moralvalues and stressed the importance of educa-tion, volunteerism, Jewish practice and toler-ance. She was one of five fabulous femaleoctogenarians featured in “Bubbies in theBurbs”, a short documentary that was shownto Hadassah groups in PA and Florida. Bornin Philadelphia in 1929, Ethel married Robert"Russ" Harrison in 1948. They lived in Over-brook Park until 1960 with their 4 childrenand then moved to Havertown. At age 64,Ethel became a widow and moved to Latches'Lane condominium, where she resided untilher death October 12, 2017. She lived along, happy, mostly healthy, fiercely inde-pendent, vibrant, and involved existence untilthe last year of her life when the obstacles ofaging increased and diminished her quality oflife. We are blessed that she went quicklywithout suffering and are grateful for the timewe had with her and what we learned fromher about cherishing life's blessings. Hermemory is a blessing for all that knew her.Please join us on October 14 at Mount Shar-on.
