Kristine Elizabeth Mclaren

Kristine “Kristi” Elizabeth McLaren of Elkridge, MD, passed away suddenly on Wednesday, February 14, 2018 in West Chester, PA. She was 53. Kristi was born on January 21, 1965 in Omaha, NE and was the daughter of Joanne McLaren and the late Raymond L. McLaren.

Kristi resided in California, Colorado, Pennsylvania and Maryland and was a graduate of Montoursville High School. She attended Pennsylvania State University and was a graduate of  University of Maryland. She was employed by The Bozzuto Group for over 20 years where her family had grown exponentially. One could always recognize her presence by her signature essence lingering even after she left the room...Thank you Perry Ellis! She always paid attention to the finer details to comfort those around her. She lovingly accepted nieces and nephews (little peeps), as well as, puppies at her day care/ puppy spa! She so enjoyed spoiling people and puppies with prizes and treats for special and everyday occasions. Kristi was everyone’s biggest cheerleader and they were all her “little buttons”! She had an uncanny ability to reach people in a positive way. She was supportive and patient and always made sure everyone had enough food. Kristi handled everything effortlessly, even during high stress situations. If you didn’t “smell” her signature scent, you always knew she was nearby with the numerous pairs of “peepers”! Kristi was and will always be Bozzuto’s Unsung Hero.

Kristi is survived by her beloved husband of 26 years, Todd Harrison of Elkridge, MD; devoted sister, Suzanne Kirkendall, wife of the late Brad Kirkendall of Odenton, MD; two loving brothers, Michael McLaren, and his wife Laura of Chesapeake Beach, MD and Scott McLaren, and his wife Tracy of Lancaster, CA; and a host of loving nieces and nephews.
