Obituary of Janet Harding

Harding, Janet Eleanor - Janet Eleanor Harding (nee Scott) passed away peacefully on January 6, 2008 at the age of 93 years. Predeceased by parents George and Anna (Keating) Scott and brother Ralph. Lovingly remembered by husband of 62 years Donald, sons John (Frances) and Paul (Colleen) and grandchildren Alison, Kathryn and Malcolm and niece Beverly Scott. Janet was a life-long member of Grace United Church where she sang in the Senior Choir and was Clerk of Session for many years. Family was always the centre of her life and she spent countless hours researching and documenting the family tree. An avid reader, Janet was Librarian at the Gananoque Public Library in the 1930s and served on the Library Board in later years, allowing her to pursue her love of books and reading. According to her wishes there will be no visitation. Cremation has taken place and a memorial service will be held in Grace United Church, Gananoque, on Saturday, January 12th at 2:00 p.m., followed by a service of Christian Burial at the family plot at Gananoque Cemetery. A reception will follow in the downstairs hall at Grace Church. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Janet's memory to the charity of your choice - dear to Janet's heart were the Gananoque Public Library, Grace United Church Choir and the Canadian Hearing Society. In recent years, Janet and her family have taken great comfort from the gentle, caring and competent health care she was privileged to receive from Doctor Arawn Therrien. The last several months have been made happier and much more comfortable by the sensitive, professional and proficient home care provided by Red Cross home support staff. Thanks to the doctors and nurses at KGH Kidd 5 and the ECU for their compassionate care.
