Katherine Susan Bowen Harra's Obituary
Katherine Susan Bowen Harra, affectionately known as "Kit," passed peacefully from us on Saturday, 10/1. Born 9/18/27, in Chickamauga, GA, she lived there in spirit all her life but resided there physically until she married Joseph S Harra of Tampa, FL, in 1953. They were married 61 years until Joe's passing, 2014. Kit attended Girls' Preparatory School, Chattanooga, TN, and graduated with a BA in art from Rollins College, 1950, where she was also a Chi Omega. She was a long-time member of Trinity Presbyterian Church and especially loved her friends and the stained glass windows there. She loved a party and never missed a chance to dress up. She traveled widely and was an avid collector of everything. She is missed dearly by daughters, Susan Young, New Port Richey, and Alice Harra, Portland, OR, and beloved grandsons Christian, Nicholas, and Gabriel Matesanz, as well as by sister Virginia Lester, MA, brother Bill Bowen, VA, and sister-in-law, Dorthea ("Dot") Hankins, Land o' Lakes.
