Harriett married Bill Kitchens in 1951. Bill served 20 years in the U. S. Air Force, and they lived in Anchorage, Alaska; Savannah, Georgia; Seymore, Tennessee; and Aberdeen, Mississippi, before returning to their hometown of Covington, Georgia. Bill died in January 2010.
Harriett worked for Belk Department store, in Covington, for several years and at Ruth's Diner, in Covington. She also served the Newton County Sheriff's department part time in caring for and transporting women and children. Harriett brought joy and love to all her family and friends.
