Obituary: Harriet DeWitt
ORLEANS, MA & Illinois - Born in Lansingburg, New York, on 16, 1910, the youngest of five remarkable children given to Ellen Francis Holton and Howard Charles Rogers. Survived a sickly childhood and the influenza epidemic of 1917 to be raised by her beloved grandmother Harriet Bemis Holton, whose hair she braided and whose convictions she absorbed. Attended Beaver and in 1933 married Harry Keator DeWitt.

The couple cherished and sacrificed for each other in Buffalo and Saranac Lake, where in 1935 she gave birth to their only child Nancy. Outside Chicago she supported Harry as he rose to become Chairman of the Board and CEO of American Hospital Supply Corporation. Both Harriet and Harry loved the Cape, where she shucked oysters for oyster stew, cleaned flounder her husband and grandsons brought her for breakfast, strolled Nauset Beach and blessed many with her friendship.

In all situations, Harriet acted in obedience to what she considered to be the right thing to do. She endured tragedies in her life - the deaths of her grandchildren Susan and David, from chronic diseases; the long deterioration and death of both her husband and her daughter from Alzheimers disease. But she did not pity herself. She expressed gratitude for what she had been given.

A phenomenal memory, an appreciative sense of humor, unquenchable curiosity, and respect for every person, whatever their station, who came into her life - these qualities characterized her. She continually strived to know the best way to do things, from arranging dishes in a dishwasher to caring for those she knew. She lived with integrity.

Harriet is survived by her grandson Stephen and great grandchildren Justin, Erin, Emily, and Eliot Minus. A funeral service will be held at the Federated Church of Orleans, 162 Main Street in East Orleans, at 2 PM on , 20. Burial will follow immediately after in Orleans .

In lieu of flowers, donations in her memory may be given to The Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, 6931 Arlington Rd., 2nd floor, Bethesda, MD 20814;the Alzheimers Association Box 96011 Washington DC 20090-6011;, or the American Cancer Society Box 22718 Oklahoma City, OK 73123-1718.
