Pauline Harrison Obituary

HARRISON--Pauline L. The Board, Council and staff of Planned Parenthood of New York City are deeply saddened by the death of Honorary Board member Pauline L. Harrison. Pauline started her nearly 70 year tenure in 1938 as a volunteer in our health centers. She was elected to the Board in 1946 and served with distinction on nearly every agency committee, and as Chair of the Board. Pauline was an outstanding fundraiser and was herself a very generous supporter of our programs. We will long remember Pauline for her life long commitment to this agency, and to the health and rights of women in New York City. We extend our heartfelt sympathies to her entire family. Laura Philips, Chair, PPNYC Board of Directors Joan Malin, President and CEO

John and I were saddened to learn of Cousin P.L.'s death. Her wit, keen intellect and integrity will be sorely missed, and we regret that we are not able to honor her memory by attending Saturday's service.

Mrs. Harrison was a great lady and
a generous and thoughtful person.
The Winterthur Archives would not
be in existence today if it were
not for her support.

Mrs. Harrison was an always-friend to me and to Winterthur. I loved visiting her in NYC on my business trips and will always miss seeing her. My sincere sympathies to Alfred, Ruth and Henry. She was a great lady and will be missed by all those that knew her at Winterthur.
