Lucille Patricia Harris

It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Lucille Patricia Harris, affectionately known as “Patsy,” of 902-3010 Lawrence Avenue East, Scarborough, Ontario, Canada, who was called to rest on Tuesday, September 22, 2026.

Patsy was the beloved daughter of the late Ivan Harris and the late Mavis Harris of Georgetown, Guyana.

Her Education and Career

Patsy received her secondary education at Charlestown Secondary School in Georgetown, Guyana. With a keen interest in accounting, she continued her studies in Accounting at the Guyana Technical Institute (GTI) and subsequently attended the University of Guyana.

Patsy later joined the Office of the Prime Minister, where her dedication and commitment to her profession were recognized. During her time there, she was awarded a scholarship to further her studies in Accounting at Birmingham University in London, England. This opportunity was an important milestone in her educational and professional journey.

Upon returning to Guyana, Patsy continued to build her career in the financial sector. She was employed at the Guyana Agricultural and Industrial Development Bank (GAIBANK), where she served as a Financial Manager. In this position, she applied her knowledge and experience in accounting and finance with dedication and professionalism.

After several years of service, Patsy resigned from her position and made the decision to migrate to Canada, beginning a new chapter in her life. Upon settling in Canada, she continued her career in the financial services sector and was employed by CIBC as a Student Loan Officer.

Throughout her professional life, Patsy demonstrated a strong commitment to education, accounting, finance, and service. Her journey—from her early education in Georgetown, to further studies in England, her career in Guyana, and eventually her professional life in Canada—was one marked by perseverance, growth, and determination.

Her Family

She will be lovingly remembered by her sisters and brothers: Jean Low-Nelson, Audrey Harris-Mitchell, Claudette Francois, the late Winston Harris, the late Harry Harris, Anita Harris, Marian Williams, Stephen Harris, and Donald Harris.

Patsy was also a cherished cousin to Edward (Eddy) Tulloch and family; the Bartons, including Carmen and family; Sandra Gibbons and family; Godfrey Marcus and family; and Dianne Amos and family, as well as many other relatives. She was a beloved great-aunt to numerous great-nieces and great-nephews.

She leaves behind many cherished memories among her extended family and dear friends, including Keith Burrowes, Debbie Thomas, Peggy, and Brian.

Patsy will be remembered for her dedication to education, her accomplishments in accounting and finance, her professional journey from Guyana to Canada, and the important place she held within her family and circle of friends.

Her life reflected determination, ambition, and a willingness to embrace new opportunities. She built a life across two countries while maintaining the bonds of family and friendship that remained important to her.

Though she is no longer with us, the memories of her life, accomplishments, and the love she shared with family and friends will remain in the hearts of all who knew and loved her.
