Harriet  Hayes

SHOREHAM-Harriet S. Hayes, 90, died Monday March 31, 2014 at home following a period of failing health.
Born September 19, 1923 in Morristown, NJ, she was the daughter of the late Herbert and Sarah (Driscol) Ortman. She was preceded in death by her husband, James W. Hayes.
Harriet was a resident of New Vernon, NJ prior to moving to Vermont four years ago.  She was a graduate of  Morristown High School and Douglass College of Rutgers. She taught at Peck School of Morristown and Madison Nursery School.
Harriet was an active member of the First Presbyterian Church of New Vernon, NJ and Middlebury Congregational Church, Vermont.  She was a member of New Vernon Historical Society and the Ladies Auxiliary of the New Vernon Volunteer Fire Department, and was a regular volunteer at the soup kitchen in Morristown. Harriet was a compassionate woman who volunteered at many organizations throughout her life, always taking the time to help those in need.
   Harriet was an avid golfer, a dedicated mother and mother-in-law, and a generous soul. Harriet lit up every room she entered, and was always the best part of any social circle. Her positive attitude and charming personality warmed the hearts of all, and she had many devoted friends who counted on her. Harriet was an open-minded woman who was ahead of her time. She was truly wonderful, kind, and loving, and will be greatly missed by all who knew her.
   Harriet is survived by her loving children, Janice G. Hayes and her husband Dale Reisner of Shoreham; and Dennis S. Page and his wife Jane Page of New Vernon, NJ.   There will be no local services.
Burial will take place at a later date at First Presbyterian Church Cemetery in New Vernon, NJ.
