Publish in a newspaper
Glenda Kathryn "Kathy" (Whited) Harsh, 68, of Plumwood, went home to Glory on Friday, July 4, 2025, in the Ohio State East Hospital.
Born July 24, 1956, in Gahanna, Ohio, Kathy was a daughter of Glen Samuel Whited and Flora Ellen (Owens) Whited. Kathy married the love of her life, Bill Harsh, on April 27, 1989, and the two have since spent the past 36 years by one another's side.
A selfless caregiver, Kathy was a devoted Registered Nurse for the former Arbors of London and later provided home health care services. Kathy enjoyed crafting and cherished time spent outdoors. Some of her happiest moments usually included Kathy by her pond. Family always came first for Kathy. Above all she relished the time they spent together, and the countless memories made that will forever be held near as a story without end.
Kathy is survived by her adoring husband William "Bill" Harsh; beloved children: Tammy (Bobby) Clifton-Ferguson, Alan (Karri) Clifton, Todd (Chasity) Clifton, Nick (Alisha) Harsh, April (Brennen) Portier; grandchildren: Tyler, Jordan, Addyson, Carter, Teylar, Payson, and Presley Clifton, Gage and Natalie O'Connor, Kayla, Madison, and Logan Harsh; great-granddaughter Sylvie. She will also be fondly remembered by her siblings Garland (Dottie) Whited, Bonnie (Bill) Weimer, Charlie (Jeannette) Whited, John Whited; numerous nieces and nephews.
She was preceded in death by her parents; brothers Kyle and Douglas "Mac" Whited; sisters Dodie Nicodemus, Barb Weimer, and Nannie White.
Kathy's family will receive friends for visitation on Tuesday, July 8, 2025, from 4:00 – 7:00 PM in the EBERLE-FISHER FUNERAL HOME AND CREMATORY, 103 North Main Street, London, Ohio 43140. A funeral service will be held on Wednesday, July 9, 2025, beginning at 11:00 AM in the funeral home with Pastor Jackson Moody officiating. Interment will follow in Plumwood Cemetery.
Condolences and prayers for the Harsh family are encouraged to be shared online at www.eberlefisherfuneralhome.com.
