Born in Ontario on 16 August 1885, daughter of educator Robert Jackson Broadworth (1845-1913) and Phoebe Alma Barrager (1855-1908), she moved to Neepawa with her family in the early 1900s. She taught at Holyrood School (1906-1909), Starbuck School (1909), and was later Principal of Franklin Union School (1912-1915), Sanford School (1915-1916), and Pipestone School (1917-1918). In 1916, she was teaching near Calgary, Alberta. In 1919, she married John George Harrison (1888-1976) at Calgary. They settled at Crossfield and had three children: William J.
