Dear Family - I sent a birthday wish to Harriet today on FaceBook, and thankfully someone reached out to me to let me know that Harriet had passed this Fall. I hadn't seen Harriet for some years. I left NYC 25 years ago, and have lived in the Philadelphia area for the past 18. Harriet put me up a few years ago when I was in the city for a family function and needed a place to stay.  She was very gracious that way. The few times we got together she spoke so lovingly of her nieces and nephews, and extended family.

I was so sorry to hear this news. 

Condolences, Suzanne McAllister (class of '68, which is the year I believe Harriet graduated too)

I was a walking friend of Harriet's, and I just learned of her death.  My condolences to her family.  This photo, with Harriet seen toward the back, was taken Nov. 27, 2018, at coffee at the Cooper-Hewitt after one of our NY RoadRunners walks in Central Park.  
I very much enjoyed knowing Harriet, hearing about her growing up in Brooklyn, and I'm sorry she is gone.

Dear Harriet, we all loved  being with you just a year ago in Santa Fe, pictured here with Jocelyn Cunningham at the Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta.  What a gift you were, you will be so missed, our adventurous cousin. Love Ellen and all the Cunninghams 

I have fond memories of many holidays at the Fallon apartment, in the kitchen with Harriet talking about food, Broadway shows, and Masterpiece. I will miss her.   Joanne Smith

So sorry for your loss . Harriet and I went to St. Saviour’s Grade and High School.together. We shared many fun times. We loved to be a part of our High School  Reunions . When I wanted to organize a 27th Reunion, she helped me and offered her apartment as the place to hold it .On 6/10/95 , the Reunion took place and 17 women showed up and we all had the best time . On 6/11/17 , SSHS held its 100th Anniversary at Gargiulo’s Restaurant in Coney Island . Harriet was smart, witty, kind ,generous and fun to be around. I will always treasure her friendship.

SSHS  27th Reunion at Harriet’s 6/10/95

100th SSHS Anniversary 6/11/17 at Gargiulo’s 

Harriet was one of the best friends I ever had. We met 35+years ago when we were both divorcing.

Quite lost in New York as a Québécoise expat, she encouraged me to speak English with more precision and speed, travelled with me on all kinds of adventures, but more importantly, she introduced me to her cool family which gave me a sense of belonging, and for that I will always be grateful.

Thanksgiving was great with her. She once organized a parade party in an apartment near Columbus Circle so my visiting parents could see the balloons. They were duly impressed!

On the 4th of July, under her coxing, we accessed the UN Delegates Lounge on the East River to see the fireworks. While on a conference mission in Kingston, Jamaica, she joined me and had tennis partners within an hour. We flew to Negril for the weekend and spent a night at Sandals, free of charge, because the Russian translators-colleagues (spies most likely) had secured tickets for all the ladies. And there was the Easter Parade, visits to Montreal, Gatineau, etc.

In 2017, while renting her extra room, I got to play Upper-East-Side princess for 3 months for my last contract with the UN. Older now, wiser a bit, we still had a great time; and many fun conversations and meals. Thanksgiving at Erin and Mark’s was fantastic. And finally, three years ago, we went on a glorious river cruise on the Rhine. Of course, she found the best table, the best angle, the best seat.

When she told me she had cancer, and knowing her fiery character, I invited myself for a month in the hope to ease her mind a bit. That was last March. She was very ill already, and rebelling with all her might. We agreed to stay in denial as to have few laughs and taste her last Beach Café burgers.

Friendship, unfortunately, is not a cure. Deep is my sadness that she couldn’t win this one.



Harriot I known you for a short period of time ,,I appreciate I got the time to help cared for you..May you rest well up in Zion with the angelic family 🕊🕊🕊🕊
