So sorry to hear of the passing of such a kind private but a women that could always share a smile. Worked with her in the Co op days long ago. ALWAYS remember her at the desk by the back window. ALWAYS will remember the day the car drove through the front of the store and Harriott seemed to fly off her chair and left the desk in awe.

To Aunt Harriets family: This beautiful lady will be missed. I hope she knew she was loved by many. Her smile, her hugs, her energy, her independence, her love of life and her huge heart are things that I always remember. I’m sure she will get to dance in heaven so I hope you packed her shoes for the journey. Safe journey Aunt Harriet. I love you your niece Gail
To Harriet’s Family…..She was the sweetest, most beautiful LADY there ever was.
I got to know Harriet when she would come into Heather Haugh’s restaurant. She
came in quite frequent. Harriet always smiled at you in a way
that she was happy to see you and spoke to you like you “mattered”
Bless this wonderful LADY!
Brad, Tammy and McKellar family, My condolences. I used to work with Harriet during the old Brigden Co-Op days. She was always the sweetest lady ever. She will be missed
