Harriet grew up in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and retained her distinct Pittsburgh accent her entire life. She worked for many years as a waitress and then manager of Bob’s Big Boy and Shoney’s restaurants. Harriet moved from Brunswick, Ohio to St. Petersburg in 1987 and worked until retirement as a sales clerk for Dillard’s. Harriet was an amazing cook and loved to prepare meals for her family and spend time with them. She loved animals, especially dogs, and spent a great deal of time caring for her many dogs and birds; she especially loved her talking cockatiel, Hissy Bird. She had a fantastic sense of humor and a quick wit; she continued to crack one-liners even as her health failed at the end of her life. She always had a smile and a kind word for her caregivers and was universally adored by her aides and nurses at Lexington Health and Rehabilitation, where she lived the last nearly three years of her life. The family wishes to express their deep appreciation to the many staff members at Lexington who cared for Harriet and assisted her husband when he visited her regularly. She will be buried with her husband, William Fish, at Ohio Western Reserve National Cemetery in Seville, Ohio
