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.

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.
