Josephine Harding

July 15, 1925 - April 15, 2020

NORTH STRATFORD – Josephine “Jo” Harding, 94, of North Stratford, passed away peacefully on Wednesday morning, April 15, 2020, at the home of her caretaker in Colebrook. She was born on July 15, 1925, in Columbia, a daughter to the late Leon and Alice (Grover) Grant. For many years, Josephine owned and enjoyed operating her business, “Jo’s Beauty Shop,” on Main Street in North Stratford. She had many, many long-term and multi-generational clients who she truly adored and loved watched growing up. She was a very active member in her church, and loved to spend time with family and friends. Jo also enjoyed just sitting on her front porch, being near the ocean, reading, and more recently, she loved her time spent with the most compassionate, kind-hearted care-takers at Angels Among Us in Colebrook. Jo was a member of the First Baptist Church in North Stratford, and also a member of the New Hampshire Cosmetologist Association. She leaves behind her daughter-in-law, Lorraine Harding of North Stratford; her son-in-law, Bob Caron; her grandchildren, Laurie (Harding) Rathman and her husband, Bill of Bethlehem, NH, Christopher Harding of North Stratford, Kim Caron and her life partner, Kris Hardung, of Henderson, NV, and Nicole Caron of Henderson, NV; her two great-grandchildren, Benjamin Rathman of Littleton, NH, and Emily Rathman of Dover, NH; a brother, Ted Grant; and all other extended family members. Jo is predeceased by her husband of 55 years, Bernard Harding in 1998; and her three children, Larry Harding, Bradley Harding, and Marjorie Caron; two brothers, John and Scott Grant; and two sisters, Hazel Grant and Rachel Morehouse. There are no public calling hours. A memorial service will be held at a later date of which notice will be given. Interment will follow in the Colebrook Village Cemetery. Condolences may be offered to the family on-line by going to www.jenkinsnewman.com. Funeral arrangements are entrusted to the care of Jenkins & Newman Funeral Home, Colebrook, NH.
