Mark Harrington, 78, of Dartmouth, Massachusetts passed away at home surrounded by his family on Tuesday, June 10, 2025.
Mark was a beloved teacher and guidance counselor serving 36 years at Dartmouth Middle School. He was also a devoted member of the Saint George Greek Orthodox Church, serving as a Parish Council member for many years. He was always willing to lend a helping hand or provide guidance.
Above all, Mark always said that being a husband, a father, and a papou was the greatest joy of his life. He loved walking the Anthony's Beach with his wife Touly, spending time with his children and watching his grandchildren learn about the world. Known for his "Papou pancakes" and "Papou pizza" by his grandchildren, he will be sorely missed. Mark is survived by his loving wife of 51 years, Photoula Harrington; his three children and their spouses Alexander Harrington and Lisa Hagen, Demetrious and Jen Harrington, and Stephanie and Michael Sloan; and six grandchildren. He is also survived by his sister, Nancy Harrington, and extended family including several nieces and nephews.
His Funeral Service will be held at Saint George Greek Orthodox Church on Monday, June 16th at 10 AM. His family will receive guest in church from 9 AM - 10 AM prior to his Funeral Service. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to Saint George Greek Orthodox Church, 186 Cross Road, Dartmouth, MA 02747. Arrangements are with the Saunders-Dwyer Home for Funerals, 495 Park St., New Bedford. For directions and guestbook, visit www.saundersdwyer.com.
I Remember Mark from many different venues;classmates in high school, with his son's from boy scouts, with his daughter from youth sports, the beach, and going to school with my daughter, his wife tuley with Mark from Anthony's Beach, and from Mark as a "stock market follower and student" with my father in law (Al DeWolf) plus from many other casual interactions, acquaintances and special occasions over the years. Mostly good and happy memories of a friend, and a very social human being with a positive outlook on life and with a smile for all he met. A good man taken from this world to soon, Rest in Peace Mark.
