Mairead Harris

July 27, 1941 ~ October 1, 2013

My Celtic lady, Mairead, my wife, companion & friend for 53 years passed away Tuesday 1 October 2013. She was born in Belfast, Ireland. She joined her Mum, Dad, two brothers & brother in law in Heaven. She was a wonderful wife, mother, grand & great grandmother. She will be dearly missed by her husband Ian, sons Mark & Sean, granddaughters Jessica, Lauren, Casey & Elizabeth, great grandchildren Serenity & Colton. Also her sister Eilish & nieces Sinead, Lisa & their families in Ireland. Our thanks to the doctors, nurses & staff at Evergreen Hospital, Kirkland. She was taken too soon.
