Harriet sewed and crocheted making some of her own clothes. She also enjoyed family trips, traveling with Nationwide Travelers, reading and collecting salt and pepper shakers. Family birthdays and anniversaries were always a time spent together going to a supper club. Harriet was a member of Sacred Heart Catholic Church and the Catholic Order of Foresters, Court #132.
