After Harriet and Martin retired, they moved to Seneca, South Carolia and enjoyed their house on the lake. They loved the summers when friends and family would join them at their home and enjoyed riding on the pontoon boat and water skiing.  Harriet and Martin moved to Otterbein retirement community in Lebanon, OH and then moved to Cedar Village in Mason, OH in June 2024.

Harriet had a deep faith, everywhere they moved she would find a Lutheran Church and become a devout member of the congregation. She was the president of the woman’s group at her church in Stow, Ohio. She then became a member of University Lutheran Church in Clemson, South Carolina.

Harriet enjoyed cross stitch, art and reading.
