Harriet was a feisty, warm hearted, very outspoken and determined woman in so many ways. She did, however; have a soft spot for her grandchildren, whom she had enormous love and admiration for. She thoroughly enjoyed riding the rides at amusement parks with her grandbabies when she could. Harriet enjoyed dancing at powwows with her granddaughter and aunts. She loved spending time with her family especially her grandchildren and always had a batch of fry bread ready. Harriet also liked garage saleing and going to the casino. Harriet’s favorite times of the year were Halloween and Christmas. She had a wonderful soul that will be missed dearly by those who knew and loved her.

Family that she meets again are her parents; Harry Johnson and Lillian (Bellanger) Webster, daughter; Charlene, sister; Debra, brother; Alvin, uncle; Norman, aunt; Leona and nephews; Jason and Elliot.
