Manchester– Patricia Hebert Harrison, 99, died September 29, 2017 at Hanover Hill Healthcare Center, where she had been a resident since June 2016, following a brief illness.
Family and friends will remember her as an ever-loving, cheerful, supportive and faithful mother, grandmother, aunt, and friend. She enjoyed classical music and travel, but loved nothing more than being surrounded by family and friends, either at home or at “Camp” – her summer cabin on Suncook Lake in Barnstead.

Prior to her retirement in 1974, she worked for 30 years as an Executive Secretary to the Director of the Veterans Administration Hospital in Manchester.
She held membership in the Manchester Business & Professional Women’s Club, NARFE, and was Past President and a recipient of the Woman of the Year award of the Manchester Women’s Club. She was a parishoner of St. Catherine of Siena Church in Manchester, and was also an active volunteer in numerous fundraising efforts for Easter Seals New Hampshire for many years.
She was predeceased by her husband, Norman Harrison, on April 3, 2000.
