Harriet Dalton

Our dear aunt, great aunt and friend, Harriet Dalton, age 93, passed away on New Year's Eve day December 31, 2016. Harriet touched the lives of many and will be dearly missed. Those who knew Harriet will remember her optimism, charm and intelligence, and the way she always made you feel welcome and important. Harriet was an avid reader and gardener, who was interested in politics and current events. She was a resourceful and determined person. Though mobility and vision were challenges, even this spring and summer Harriet could be found in the early mornings making sure things were just right in her garden. Harriet remained the center of a network of friends and family, whose pleasure and privilege it was to know her.

Harriet was born in Salt Lake City, Utah in 1923. She grew up in West Jordan, where she worked on the family farm raising livestock and farming sugar beets. She worked at Grand Central in Murray, Utah during World War II and after the war married George Dalton. They established a home in Kearns, Utah, where they raised their two sons, Bill and Clint. Harriet retired from Litton Industries in Salt Lake City.

Harriet is preceded in death by her parents, husband George and sons Bill and Clint. She is survived by three nephews and their wives.

Private services will be held and interment will be at the Valley View Cemetery in West Valley City, Utah.
