Harriet Louise Cowen

Im pleased my wife knew you, she died of cancer in 2015. I just found a signed copy 63/75, a boy and girl looking at basket of daffodils. To my knowledge shared this with never shared with me, but to see it numbered and signed to from her, an explication if possible. Kevin Molli, her husband. Cathie was born in Gloucester VA

To the family of Harriet Cowen:

I had the pleasure of meeting Harriet about 20 years ago. She was exhibiting her art at Chesterfield Town Center near Richmond, VA. I saw the watercolor of "Where the Ladies Meet" featuring Holstein Dairy cows. I grew up on a farm with Holsteins, so I had to have the watercolor and some note cards. I continued to see her at shows. I went to one of her exhibits at Mathews, VA and one at the Christmas sale at William and Mary College. After I moved...

I am so sorry to learn of Harriet's passing. I knew her through the Guinea Jubilee, and Guinea was always very special for her. I commissioned her to paint a picture of our former home in Falls Church, VA, and it is simply beautiful. In fact, she told me that was the last one she would ever be able to do. She was a kind and very talented lady and will be missed. My thoughts and prayers are with you, and I will always cherish my memories of her.

Harriet, I'll miss you terribly. Your beautiful smile and hearty laugh will always be a warm memory of you. I'm blessed for having known you.

Lena, I was so sorry to hear about your mother's passing. I still remember the good times we had at your house and your party after you moved away from York school. May God keep you in his care.

Harriet was my aunt and I love her. Although I did not see her often, when I talked with her on the phone the past few years I could feel the love she had for me. She would always ask about my boys even though she had not met them. I pray she will be able to continue her art without pain now that she is in a place without suffering. My heartfelt sympathy goes out to her children and of course my wonderful dad. I know he will miss her deeply. God bless, Nancy and Paul Parkinson, Cameron...

Harriet was my neighbor for nine years and my husband and I loved her. She was a warm, wonderful and generous lady. She drew our two dogs and gave the picture to me for my birthday, because "she knew it would make me smile". I will miss her laugh and her stories about the trips she always took. Something always happened! God bless, Harriet.

There is no way to express the sense of loss I feel after having read of Harriet's death. She was, quite simply, a treasure. Her ready smile, her love of life, her soft acceptance of people--all the characteristics of a lady were there when one was in her prescence. Her artwork lives on in the homes of so many people--and I know each piece brings a smile as we pass and touch in her memory...we will miss her terribly.

For the past few months I had the opportunity to share Abby, my therapy dog with Mrs. Cowen. I will always remember Mrs. Cowen's smile when she saw Abby come into her room. Our visits with Mrs. Cowen are now a very special memory.
