d/o Everett P. and Esther (Cowden) Coombs.

Raised in Newburyport and Amesbury, she lived in Hampton for 26 years before moving to Lee in 1972.

A 1940 graduate of Lowell State Teachers College, with a BS in Education, she taught music and dancing for 38 years before retiring from the Hampton School System, having taught at Hampton Academy Junior High.

Harriett was a renown, first-class, rug hooker. For many years she displayed her hooked rugs and demonstrated her rug hooking technique at the Rochester and Deerfield Fairs, where her rugs won many first place ribbons.
