Harriet Marie Mike, 62, was born on October 20, 1964, in Ajo and passed away on November 4, 2026, in Glendale. She will be remembered with deep respect, and for the steady warmth she brought to the lives around her.
Harriet found meaning in the everyday and celebration in community - time spent at rodeos, and her appreciation for music and dancing reflected a spirited heart and a grateful way of living. In her home, cooking was more than a task—it was an expression of care. She also carried forward tradition through her work as a traditional basket weaver, honoring what was handed down with care and quiet dedication. Those closest to her will remember the brightness of her spirit and the happiness she so naturally shared.
Harriet is survived by her children, Roselena, Chalena and John Mendoza III, Stephaine Mike and Harriett BadHand; and by two siblings, Manuelita and Oilsto Mike Jr. 16 grandchildren and 1 great grandchild. She was preceded in death by her parents, Amelia Mike and Oilsto Mike Sr. and two grandchildren.
