Harriet Yashon Obituary

I was fortunate enough to meet Harriet when working at Interviewing Dynamics, many years ago, where so many faces and personalities came and went. Harriet was one that was not easily forgotten with those HUGE, BEAUTIFUL eyes, and a smile that could light up any room...The years passed, as they do, so quickly, and then we bumped in to one another again 3 years ago at TJMaxx, where we had each pulled out the same, very colorful sweater. Harriet had already been fighting her illness, but her smile was there, bright and beautiful and the sparkle was still in her eyes. A brave, warm and gracious woman who left this earth too soon, but was cared about by so many.

My deepest sympathy to Harriet's family. Fondly, Jill Brooks Miller

I have known Harriet for many years. It was always a pleasure to talk with her - she was one of my first contacts at Searle and she always remembered that. Harriet will definitely be missed.

I am so sorry to hear of Harriet's passing and want to let her family know she was always a bright spot in my day when I worked with her at Searle. My thoughts and prayers are with you during this very sad time.

Karen and Ben,

We remember fondly all the Thanksgiving dinners we shared with you and your mom at your Aunt Rena's house as well as many other Yashon gatherings. Your mom was a caring and loving person who was always upbeat and pleasant. May all the wonderful memories you have help you through this very difficult time.

Our dear Harriet - truly a class act. You taught us much, and always held your head high. You will be dearly missed.

Karen,



Our condolences to you on the death of your mother. May your good memories live on forever.

We shared many ups and downs at Searle as we worked together for many years. I always admired your courage, strength and great sense of style and grace in everything you did. You touched many lives and made them better by just being a good listener and friend. I will think of you often and with great fondness.

I have many fond memories of evenings spent on Kenton avenue with my friend Ben. "Mrs. Yashon" always took such good care of us, and her kindness to me extended into my teenage years where she got me my first "biotech" job at G.D. Searle. You certainly touched a lot of people, and I often think of you and your family and how much your friendship meant to me.

I only new Harriet for the last couple of years, but am honored to say that I did know her . She displayed courage and strength walking down the road that she new she was on, all the while preparing all of her close friends and Family for what was ahead . A Class act always! Harriet Thanks for your friendship & encouragement ,Conrad and I will miss your many Cards and notes, mostly we will miss you , Rest Peacefully

My good dear friend Harriet. You are indeed a wonderful woman, friend, mother, daughter, coworker, and teacher. Thanks for all the lessons learned. I am a better person for having you in my life. Much love to you always. Rest now.

I will always remember our times together in Hawaii, Puerto Rico, Florida, Arizona and all the "trendy" stores. You have been a good friend!

To my dearest and loving friend for over 30 years. I picture us at Lincolnwood pool where we first met. You will remain in my heart and thoughts every day. God has blessed you with a loving family and friends. You rest in peace my dear friend and sister. I love you.

Harriet was such a wonderful person and a friend to all. She will be deeply missed.
