Olive Boudreau Harrington
1920-2013 PITTSFIELD Mrs. Olive Boudreau Harrington, age 93 of 103 Northumberland Rd., died Wednesday morning at the Videll HealthCare-Springside Facility after a short illness. She was born in Pittsfield on September 22, 1920, the daughter of the late Joseph and Louise Gagnon Boudreau. She was educated in the local schools and was a 1938 graduate of Pittsfield High School. In her early years she was employed at Rice Silk Mill and Solomon Butchers. A devoted member of Sacred Heart Church, she enjoyed the companionship of her miniature poodles over the years. Mrs. Harrington was an avid bridge player but her greatest joy was raising and caring for her family and her home. A fastidious housekeeper, she kept her home spotless and very comfortable for all who visited. Olive was fun loving, she enjoyed rides in the Berkshires and shopping. She also loved Cape Cod and shopping at the Christmas Tree Shops. Olive always made everyone welcome in her house and entertained generations of young people at her kitchen table listening to stories and passing advice. She loved her grandchildren and rejoiced when they came from afar to visit. Her husband of 43 years, Donald F. Harrington, died June 13, 1982. She is survived by her two sons, Shaun D. Harrington of Shamokin, Pa., and Colin D. Harrington of Windsor; and four grandchildren, Sara Harrington, Seth Harrington, Jacob Harrington and Jeffrey Harrington; and her daughter-in-law Rosemary Harrington of Pittsfield. She was predeceased by her daughter Megan C. Harrington who died March 25, 1995, and her son Kevin O. Harrington who died January 26, 2000. FUNERAL NOTICE: A Liturgy of Christian Burial will be celebrated Saturday morning at 9 a.m. at Sacred Heart Church with the Rev. James Joyce officiating. Burial will follow in St. Joseph's Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, if friends desire, memorial donations may be made to the Berkshire Humane Society in care of the funeral home.

Still think of you often Olive! You were how neighbors are supposed to be. So sweet you brightened every day we spoke. Of every Next door neighbor were like Olive. There would be no dust in your path and we would have one sweet world.

I remember your mother's laughter! All of you were always so happy together.
I saw her a few weeks ago at the nursing home. She was sleeping in her chair -- I told her who I was and kissed her. She didn't seem to respond but I believe when someone is so sick they can still hear.
Did you know she always ate her toast upside down because that way the butter could taste her taste buds! That info came from Muthie.
May God keep you in his care, and know that a new star is shining in the night sky.
Love,
Joelle.

I think of Olive often. I love her dearly. God Bless You Olive and the Harringtons, and to all of those she touched through the years. I grew up next door to Olive and heard "Good morning handsome" almost everyday for at least 14 years. Olive you will be dearly missed. RIP
