Harriett, the daughter of Louis and Lillian (Turin) Cohen, was born on April 3, 1928, in Boston, MA, and raised in Milton, MA.
As a young bride in 1948, she moved to Laconia with her husband Jason. Harriett was employed by the Lund Ski Factory and then later by the Albert Edgerly Insurance Agency.

She loved her travels, especially to Aruba, and her many winters in Delray Beach, FL. An avid Mahjong player for many years, she was also an early supporter of the Winnipesaukee Playhouse, and lifetime member of Temple B'Nai Israel.
Harriett is survived by her son Gary Morse and his wife Sandra; her grandsons, Dustin Morse and his wife Ciara, and Adam Morse; her great-grandchildren, Shayna and Jake, all residents of Virginia. Local relatives are Robert Sawyer and his partner Susan Quaddrozzi, Judi Rogato and her husband Jim, and Jenna Rogato. Remaining family members are the Lenore Laskin Family of Phoenix, AZ. In addition to her parents, Harriett was predeceased by her husband Jason D. Morse, and her sister Eleanor Sawyer and her husband Jack.
A Private Burial will take place at Sharon Memorial Park, Sharon, MA.
