Catherine Rene Harriman.
WALDOBORO Catherine Rene Harriman, 48, of Waldoboro, passed away unexpectedly at her home on January 25, 2021.
Catherine was born in Wichita, Kansas on March 17, 1972 to parents Henry R. Gagne and Donna (Purdy) Gagne. She grew up in Maine and graduated from Medomak Valley High School.
Catherine worked at Maritime Farms and met Dan Harriman, who was a frequent customer at the store. The rest is history, so they say. They married and she became a homemaker raising their two children.
Every memory of Momma Pepperoni (aka Cathy) is of her heart of gold and her generous and giving spirit. She loved celebrating her birthday (St. Patrick’s Day) with her fun and unique green costumes and going out to eat Chinese food with her family.
