Kathryn Matthews Harrington

November 6, 1953- December 31, 2021

Kathryn Matthews Harrington, 68, of North Beach passed away December 31, 2021 at home surrounded by family. She was born November 6, 1953 in Washington, DC to William Baker III and Antoinette (Keller) Matthews. Kathryn grew up in Prince George’s County and graduated from Northwestern High School in 1971. She married Jeremiah Harrington on April 5, 1975 and they lived in Silver Spring before settling in Prince Frederick in 1977. They moved to North Beach in 2005. Kathryn was primarily a homemaker and also worked as a secretary for the DEA and taught physical education at St. Mary’s School, Bryantown. She later worked as a secretary, substitute teacher, and aide for Calvert County Public Schools. Kathryn was a member of St. Anthony’s Catholic Church and in her spare time she enjoyed being on the water, fishing, crabbing, genealogy, knitting, and reading. Most of all she loved being with her family. She was the #1 fan of her children and grandchildren sports teams.

Kathryn is survived by her loving husband Jeremiah F. Harrington, Jr. of North Beach, children Jeremiah “Jerry” Harrington and his wife Sarah of Owings and Kathryn “Katie” Stum and her husband Brent of North Beach, grandchildren Jeremiah and Mia Harrington and Mary Kathryn, John, Luke, and Anna Stum, sisters Pamela O’Connell of Washington, DC, Elizabeth “Betsy” Thomas of Avon, NC, and Mary Matthews of Richmond, VA, and brother James “Bo” Matthews of Elkridge. She was preceded in death by her parents and brother William Baker Matthews IV.

A reception will follow in Padua Hall from 2:00PM – 4:00 PM.

    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. No doubt you are looking down at your family and saying “job well Done” RIP, Lynn and Ed Williams

    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.

    God bless her and her family in her loss.

    Love Jim & Cissie Pierce

    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.
