It is with both sadness and the comfort of our faith in the saving grace of our Lord Jesus Christ that we announce the peaceful passing of Juanita Fern Harris, who was called home to be with her Lord and Saviour on Thursday September 12, 2024, at the age of 96. She passed away at AgeCare Samac, long-term care residence in Oshawa. Although she is now absent from the body, we know with certainty that she is present with the Lord and rejoicing in His presence.
Throughout her life Juanita was very active in Calvary Baptist Church Oshawa’s prayer chain, missions circle, choir and various bible study groups. One of her favourite Bible verses was:

“Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life; And I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever.” Psalms 23:6

Juanita was predeceased by her beloved husband, William Harris, whom she loved dearly throughout their fifty-four years of marriage. She leaves behind a loving legacy through her children, Maureen Todd (Howard), Peter Harris (Debbie), and Ellen Peppiatt (David). Her memory will also be cherished by her grandchildren, Stephanie (Craig), Ellicea (Stephen), Sarah (Ramy), Rachel (Seth) Benjamin, and Hannah, as well as her great-grandchildren, Evelyn, Willa, Emmaline, Olivia, Everly, Brielle, Elisabeth and William.
The family would like to extend special thanks to the dedicated nurses, personal support workers and staff at AgeCare Samac, whose compassion and care provided comfort to Juanita in her final years.
