Patrick Harrington Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Ruck Towson Funeral Home, Inc. on Mar. 27, 2026.
Patrick Norton Harrington passed peacefully on March 25th at the Patapsco Valley Healthcare at the age of 77. He was predeceased by his parents Patrick J. and Mary N. Harrington and his wife Deborah Ann Harrington. He is survived by a brother John Harrington (Ellen), a niece Jenifer Harrington (Jason Friedman), nephews Sean and Tim Harrington, great niece Ellie Friedman, great nephews Mac and Oliver Friedman and many relatives.

Patrick was born in New York City and spent his childhood in Rochester, NY before his family moved to the Baltimore area in 1960. He was a graduate of Calvert Hall College High School and attended the University of Baltimore. He spent much of his career working for Maryland Messenger Service and acting as a volunteer counselor for a prison ministry. In his leisure time he was a biking enthusiast and enjoyed listening to smooth jazz music.

Patrick was very humble, a devout Catholic and proud of his Irish heritage. He was a very kind, generous and loving person. A special thanks to the staff at Patapsco Valley Health who so passionately cared for him over the past 5 years.

There will be a funeral service at 11:00 a.m. on Monday, March 30th in the chapel of the Ruck Towson Funeral Home, 1050 York Road, Towson, MD 21204. Interment will be private.
