A Time to Live......The entire family relocated to Sullivan County in the 1950’s. Harriette

High School.
Harriette was employed at the Infirmary in Liberty, N.Y. for approximately 10 years. Later on in
life she became a monitor at Monticello High Bus Company where she retired. She was very
compassionate toward the children that she served.
Friendship Baptist Church became her church home as a child and for many years as an adult.
She enjoyed Bible study and singing with the choir. Her favorite book of the Bible was Psalms.
She often quoted from the book of Psalms saying that it applied to all adversities in life. She
enjoyed socializing with her friends and family, sharing conversations, music and good food.
She could talk for hours on the phone, never lost for words. One of her favorite past times was
shopping especially at the thrift shops, that became a regular weekend routine for her.
A Time To Love.....She adored her son Antwain, and looked forward to the times they spent
together.
Harriette was a warm, friendly, sensitive and caring person who would greet you with a smile,
but adamant in her beliefs. She was always trying to encourage those that knew her in a
positive way. She had a subtle sense of humor with an infectious laugh.
A Time To Remember.....Harriette was preceded in death by her parents Wilson and Rose Lee
Smith. Left to cherish her memory and continue her legacy are her son Antwain, her brother
Wilson, sister Overta, and a host of nieces, nephews, cousins, and other family and friends.
