She also spent numerous hours volunteering for senior suppers, flu clinics and helping at any event that was going on at the Melita Personal Care Home as well as the Bath Program for a while. Judith enjoyed her volunteer time and found it very rewarding. One of Judith's greatest passions in her life was her grandchildren. Grandma always made a point of being at any activity the kids were in, whether it be track and field, hockey, concerts or lazy day at the beach. Grandma was always their biggest fan. Judith was predeceased by her mother Edith, father Charles Logeot, brother Armand Logeot and infant son Darwin Harkness. Judith is survived by her loving husband of 45 years William Harkness, her children Krista Tweed (Jason), Marcus (Dawnette) and Aaron ( Laurissa).
