October 12, 1925 - April 9, 2014
Harriet King (nee Glatiotis) died peacefully in Toronto after a brief illness.
Born in Guthrie, North Dakota, she immigrated with her family to Canada at age two. She grew up in Camrose, Alberta where she met and married Fred Anderson King in 1947 (deceased 1994). Together they lived an enviable existence, and made many devoted friends in Boston, Montreal, Lausanne, Antibes, and Courtenay, British Columbia. She found excitement and delight every day even in the simplest things in life. Her family including her brother Kenneth, son John (Maggie Dwyer), daughter Helen Ploderer, grandchildren Fred, Tiffany (Steve Campbell), Alexander (Andrea Graham), Katherine and great granddaughter Madison Ann have a colourful collection of great stories and memories to cherish. She shared the best of times and travels with her beloved companions, Margaret and Tony DeGregorio.
The family wishes to thank all the kind friends whose love, prayers and thoughtful expressions of concern gave them comfort and strength. They are grateful for the compassionate care at St. Michael鈥檚 in the ER and on the 14th floor, especially Dr. Andrew Mariama and Lynda. If desired a donation in her memory may be made to a charity of your choice.
Cremation has taken place. At Harriet鈥檚 request, there will be no service.
Interment will take place in Camrose, Alberta at a later date.
