Harriet was a 55-year member of PEO, an international women’s philanthropic and educational organization. She was an active member of First Congregational Church of Wauwatosa, serving as a Sunday school teacher and deacon, and was a longtime member of the Milwaukee Art Museum.
Harriet can best be remembered as graceful – graceful with family and friends and graceful as a hostess. While Harriet never sought to be the center of attention, she was the loving center of her family.
The family is very appreciative of the excellent care that Harriet received at Elaine’s Hope.
A private family service will be held in memory of Harriet.
