Rena Roe Harris

She was born on December 4, 1925 in Montague, Prince Edward Island and remained an islander all her life.

Her two vocations in her life were nursing and her family.

She graduated in 1947 with her RN from Prince Edward Island Hospital. She worked in public health in Saint John New Brunswick where she met Frank Ernest Harris who was her husband for 52 years.

Rena and Frank raised their family in Ottawa and spent 22 years operating the family-owned campground Bona Vista in the Ottawa Valley. They moved to Calgary in 1996 to be closer to their children and grandchildren all of whom had migrated west.

With a lifetime of treasured memories, she leaves behind her children, Elizabeth (Larry Lim, Bill (Sharon) Harris, Frank (Marie) Harris and MaryLou (Bob) Lucking. Also left with wonderful memories are her nine grandchildren and her seven great-grandchildren, Leah (Shane, great-grandchildren Zadak and Verity) Mottishaw, Diana (Lucas great-grandchild Evan) Roberts, Laura Lim, Andrew Lim, Marshall Harris, Nicole Harris, Michael (Richelle great-grandchild Zoey) Harris, Vicky Lucking, Andrew (Chesa great-grandchildren Rhian, Timber, and Kolbie) Lucking.

The family wishes to express their heartfelt gratitude for the love and excellent care Rena received at the Edgemont Revera in Calgary in her time there as a resident and especially in the last three weeks. She was able to stay at home until the end.

Heaven has another Flames fan!
