Harrison (Eads) Kathleen "Katy" Harrison, 94, passed away peacefully on April 26, 2015 surrounded by her family. She was born on April 6, 1921 to John and Cordellia Eads in Lancaster Ohio; the youngest of 11 children. Graduating from Lancaster High School in 1939 she married the love of her life, Dale Harrison within weeks. She devoted her life to her children, three grandchildren and six great grandchildren.

Ten years ago, finding herself widowed, she found solace in Central College Presbyterian Church and her beloved minister Rev. Ellsworth. She was preceded in death by her husband of 65 years, Lewis Dale Harrison, her parents and ten brothers and sisters. She leaves behind sons, Michael Harrison of Gahanna, Timothy (Sandy) Harrison of Westerville; and daughter, Cathy (David) Coleman of Port Clinton; grandchildren, Alyssa (Andy) Quinn, Amanda (Brad) Covert and Brad Parks; all of Central Ohio; six great grandchildren, Ryan, Owen and Ava Quinn and Brandon, Cameron and Emmery Covert.
