Kathleen Marie Harlson

Kathleen Marie Harlson (64), passed away on December 18^th, 2023, after courageously battling with COPD for many years. Kathleen was born September 28^th, 1959, in Eau Claire, WI to Donald and Elaine (Anderson) Corrigan. Kathy grew up in Eau Claire and the surrounding area. Kathleen was a strong independent woman, homemaker, and single mother of four. Growing up in the middle of six brothers, hunting and fishing from a young age, Kathy always had a love for the outdoors and nature, often to be found hunting for walleye, bass or agates on some local beach. Kathy loved animals and pets of all kinds but had a special connection to chihuahuas and would find one by her side begging for a shot of Mello Yello.

Even after being a Duluth, MN resident for the past 31 years, on Sundays, you would find her with a pot roast in the oven and her routing on “The Pack”. If you found Kathy inside, she would be enjoying some arts and crafts or maybe a puzzle, possibly rearranging her furniture, but on the TV would be a religious program as she was a devout Christian and became very close with the Lord later in life.

Most of all, Kathy, mom, grandma, great-grandma, or sister loved to spend time with loved ones to celebrate triumphs, listen to woes, offer advice or just a hug. She was tremendously proud of her family and loved them all very much. As adversity was no stranger to Kathy, it tempered her. She became a rock for her family and a hero to her children and grandchildren.

Kathleen is preceded in death by father, Donald Hugh Corrigan; mother, Elaine Joyce (Anderson) Corrigan; brothers, Timothy, Daniel, Michael, Jody, and Shannon Corrigan.

Kathleen is survived by her brother, Brian Corrigan; children, Lisa (Jerry) Anderson, Joshua (Tammy) Corrigan, Reannin Harlson, and Carlie (Troy) Corrigan; grandchildren, Taylor (Charlie) Clark, Cody Clark, Dalton Clark, Madison (Nathaniel) Lee, Dakota Corrigan, Sienna Corrigan, Savanna (Jonathan) Pomeroy, Annika Gregg, Logan Carr, Destiny Corrigan, Nathaniel Carr, Alaina Mrotek; and great-grandchildren, Liam and Scerenity Davis.
