Harriet graduated from Washington and Lee High School in Arlington, Virginia and attended American University in Washington and the University of Oklahoma. She was married to Michael Price Rucker. Cremation rites will be accorded. A Celebration of Life will be announced at a later date for family and friends.

I only knew Harriet briefly as an "across the street neighbor". Yet I will never forget how kind she was to my daughter and me. She lived the ancient command, "Love your neighbor as yourself." God Bless you, Harriet.

Mike and family,
Working with you in the early '90s and getting to know your family has always remained with me due to the true love I witnessed in the Ruckers.
May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow and always.

Harriet was a lovely person and her long brave battle with multiple sclerosis is an inspiration to family and friends alike. Her wonderful and loving husband Michael and son Derek were also inspiring for their care of her over the years. She will live on in our memories. With sadness for your loss, Suzanne Stone Brannan.
