September 13, 1939 – December 19, 2023
A resident of Chatham, Jenny Anderson (nee Harris), passed away at the Copper Terrace Long
Term Care Home on December 19, 2023 at the age of 84 surrounded by family. Born in
Montreal, Genevieve was the daughter of the late Joseph and Marguerite (nee Buchanan)
Harris. Cherished mother to Marty Chapple (Allyson) of Brantford, Joe Chapple (Pam) of Ajax,
and Donna Kucera (Rick) of Chatham. Beloved mother-in-law to Barb Chapple of Toronto. Proud
grandmother to Brandi (Ian), Steven, Danielle, Laura, Lee, Jana, and Logan and great-
grandmother to Loren, Alexis, and Dezeray.
Dear sister to Kathleen Wood, Joyce Arnot (Rod), Linda Young (John), Shirley Kensley, and Don
Harris (Collette). Predeceased by her husband Lorne Anderson and father of her children, Jim
Chapple, step-son Gary Anderson, sister Lillian Harris, brothers Allan and Ken Harris, brother-in-
law Jim Wood and sister-in-law Joyce Harris. She was loved and will be missed by several
nieces and nephews.
Jenny worked as a school secretary for the Catholic School Board. Her commitment to the job
extended beyond the daily responsibilities. She assisted with programs within the school and
even coached teams. Jenny also enjoyed coaching girls’ softball, youth bowling and was a long-
standing volunteer with Special Olympics. Christ Church, The Heart and Stroke Foundation and
The Royal Canadian Legion were other organizations who benefitted from her volunteerism.
In her “free time” Jenny loved to garden, golf, bowl, sew, bake, and travel around the province
visiting her grandchildren and family. The breakfast ladies (Betty Rupert, Mary Leyte, Linda
Denys, Barb McGregor, and Donna French) were an integral part of her life, and she cherished
their friendship.
