They settled in Glasgow, MT, to raise their three children: Doug, Joan and Janet. Harriet enjoyed working part-time at the hospital and nursing home while Jim worked for MDU. In 1971 Jim was transferred to the Dickinson office. The couple have made Dickinson their home ever since. Harriet was a very talented lady. Her fun and spontaneous personality was a joy to everyone she came in contact with.

Her husband, children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren brought her tremendous joy. Harriet’s legacy to her family is the unconditional love she had for each one of them.
