In 1999, they relocated to Silverthorne, Colorado to be closer to their son. She is a member of Our Lady of Peace Catholic Church in Silverthorne, Colorado. Harriet was a very giving, loving individual and thoroughly enjoyed her active years with family trips sailing, swimming and water skiing at their Skaneateles Lake cottage, snow skiing at Greek Peak in New York, and bicycling and skiing the Colorado trails. Always a positive, happy, fun-loving spirit, she will be greatly missed.
