Harriet A. Blow Obituary
Harriet A. Blow, 82, Fargo, ND, died Saturday, December 5, 2015, in her home, under the care of Hospice of the Red River Valley and Tami's Angels.
Harriet Ann Blow was born Nov. 17, 1933, in Grafton, ND, to Harry and Myrtle (Falconer) Blow. Because she was not expected to live, she was baptized on Nov. 20, 1933, at St. James Episcopal Church, Grafton. She grew up in Grafton and Fargo. She was confirmed at St. Stephen's Episcopal Church, Fargo, on Jan. 14, 1960. Following the death of her mother, Harriet lived in several homes in Fargo, eventually finding a warm and nurturing community at New Horizons Manor.
Despite the many disabilities in her life, Harriet proved to be a strong and independent person. Although she was initially not expected to live long, she survived her entire immediate family. Despite the many setbacks in her life, she remained happy and upbeat, and always had a smile on her face. She was a gentle and compassionate person who was loved deeply by all who knew her.
She had a strong faith, and her parish of St. Stephen's Episcopal Church was a second home to her. She was one of the longest-serving members of St. Stephen's. She served for many years as a lector and a Stephen minister. A magnet on her refrigerator said, "I find strength in God," and it seems she truly did.
She enjoyed bowling (for which she won many trophies and awards) and listening to country music (especially her beloved Billy Ray Cyrus.) She is survived by several nieces and nephews, her many friends and caregivers, her fellow parishioners at St. Stephen's, and all the many people who were inspired by and loved her.
She was preceded in death by her parents, Harry Sr. (died 1962) and Myrtle (died 1973); brothers, Harry Jr (died 1995) and Merle (died 1940); and her dear friend, Greg Craychee (died 2010.)
Requiem Eucharist: 11 AM, Friday, Dec. 11, 2015, at St. Stephen's Episcopal Church, 120 21 Ave. N., Fargo, with her friend, Fr. Jamie Parsley, celebrant.
Burial: Holy Cross Cemetery, north Fargo and St. Stephen's Memorial Garden, Fargo.
