Caroline Jill
Harjung – 71, Lantz,
passed away peacefully, at her daughter’s home in Pine
Grove, on Friday, May 13, 2022. Born in Toronto on October 14, 1950,
which was Boy Scout Apple Day, she was a daughter of the late Harold
and Helen (Wilson) Coker. Along with her parents, she was predeceased
by her beloved, Kerry Coburn.
Caroline was the beloved Mom to Megan; Grandma to Ainsley and
Mitchell; Step-Mom to Lisa, Gina, Audra, Tanya, Nikkie and
Step-Grandma to their children and Momma #2 to Erica Saunders. She
will also be greatly missed by her brother, John and his partner,
Bryan and her sister, Dawn Ellen (Bob) and their
children.
Mom was an active volunteer in the many communities she lived
in and she was a long serving member of Boy Scouts of Canada and
United Church Women. She volunteered her time at Stevenson Memorial
Hospital in Alliston. On many occasions, she volunteered her
accounting prowess to many of those organizations.
Mom was happiest at the baseball diamonds and was a long-time
member of the Beeton Mixed Slo pitch league, whether she was keeping
score, grabbing her glove to spare or encouraging us all to "hit
the damn ball"! She rarely missed a game, was
everyone’s "Baseball Mom" and truly loved her
baseball family. Her door was always open for a cup of coffee, a hug
or a kick in the butt, whichever she thought you needed that day, and
sometimes, all three! She will be truly missed by all.
Celebration of Caroline’s life will be held 1 p.m.,
Saturday, May 28, 2022, at Milford-Lantz United Church, 2134 Highway
2, Milford. In lieu of flowers, donations to Boy Scouts of Canada, UCW
of any United Church or Stevenson Memorial Hospital are
welcomed.
