Dear Jerry and family, I am so sorry for your loss, Kathy was a very kind and a woman of strong faith, she and I spent many hrs on the bleachers watching Ed and Jerry play ball, While Dawn and Katie ran around.

I am so sad to hear this news. I attended US Park Police rookie school with her husband Jeremiah and have loved hearing how his family grew and prospered over the years. I only met Kathryn at her wedding, which resulted in a long and loving marriage. I wish I could have spent time with them. God rest her soul.
Our prayers to the entire family.

Mrs. Harrington was one of those special people that always had a twinkle in her eye, well except for that time Katie and I came home past curfew! The impact she had on her family and those around her will forever be remembered. The way she always made you feel so welcome in her home and hearing her cheering so loud at ALL of the games. Her voice and laugh you could always pick out of a crowd. That’s what I’ll remember most. And my children still talk about eating popcorn and drinking hot chocolate at her house on Halloween. What a wonderful tradition she included us in. So thankful that she passed her love for Jesus and her love for life on to her children… her spirit continues to live on and she continues to touch many more lives. Rest in peace.

Bless be our friend. May she now rest peacefully and watch over her family from above.
Oh what an angel, neighbor and friend she was as we shared our first single-family homes in Calvert County.

Mrs. Harrington was a special lady. I enjoyed seeing her as the first person at the front desk of Windy Hill Elementary School when my kids attended that school. Always very helpful with a smile on her face. Many parents crossed her path at WHES and she knew my name and personally greeted me when I walked in to pick up my kids. Thank you for being so kind. RIP Mrs. Harrington and thank you for all you did for my children. My prayers are with her family during this difficult time.
