Harrison, Louise E.
By Canton CitizenLouise E. Harrison of Canton died peacefully at home on November 23, 2024.
Louise was the devoted wife of the late Peter J. Harrison Jr. Cherished mother of Beth D. Harrison (Dan Staples) of Canton, Peter William Harrison (Kim Bryant) of Cheshire, CT, and Molly L. Harrison (Tom Giaquinto) of Marshfield.
Loving sister of Ann Galvin of Plainville and Edward Galvin of Brunswick, ME. Proud grandmother of Charlotte Louise Staples, Peter Harrison Jr., Benedict Harrison, and Grace Harrison. She is also survived by loving and devoted friends Marilyn Walsh and Linda Podgurski, who were like sisters to Louise.
Born in Boston to William H. and Elizabeth (Grenham) Galvin, Louise grew up in Canton and attended St. John’s School and Canton High School. After graduation from Aquinas Junior College, she worked at the Massachusetts Housing Authority for several years before staying home to raise her family.
She was a Boston Celtics season ticket holder for many years and enjoyed watching them win several championships. The Patriots and Tom Brady also held a special place in her heart. She enjoyed cooking and baking, meeting her friends for tea, lunch and shopping, and when the weather was nice she could be found by the water in Scituate enjoying the sun.
Louise made friends everywhere she went, but her true calling was being a mother to her three children and Nana to her grandchildren. Her grand-dog, Baxter, brought her much joy and comfort in her final years. She will be deeply missed but remembered with love by everyone who knew her.
A Mass of Christian burial will be celebrated Saturday, November 30, at 11 a.m. in St. Oscar Romero Catholic Church in Canton. Relatives and friends are respectfully invited to attend. Visiting hours Saturday from 9 to 10:30 a.m. in the Pushard Family Funeral Home, 210 Sherman Street, www.roache-pushard.com. Interment St. Mary’s Cemetery, Canton.
If desired, donations may be made in Louise’s memory to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital at stjude.org.
