Harriet Nelson, 81, passed away peacefully on June 16, 2026, in Raymore, Missouri. She was born on January 22, 1945, in Springfield, Missouri.
On June 1, 1969, Harriet married Kenny Nelson. She was a lifelong member at Gregory Boulevard Church of Christ.
Harriet was a devoted homemaker while raising her children before beginning a career in retail. She worked many years at The Jones Store at Blue Ridge Mall, then later Macy’s at Independence Center and Joann.
Harriet loved all things sewing, buttons, quilting, and collecting teapots. She was a great baker and known for her highly-requested Christmas cookies and cinnamon rolls. One of Harriet’s greatest joys was being “Mamu” to her grandkids. She treasured the time she spent with them and loved watching them grow.
