She married Dave Davies on September 26, 1948, in Wenatchee, WA, after their courtship that started on the dance floor. They raised their three sons on the Davies Orchard in Orondo, WA. She loved fishing in Lake Chelan and raising her sons by the Columbia River. She officially recorded the rise of the Columbia River, after the addition of the Rocky Reach Dam. As an Elder in the Orondo Church, and a member of the choir, she was a pillar of the Orondo community and to her family. Harriett and Dave were members of the Orondo Grange.

She enjoyed the activities of the Orondo Women's Club and the outings with their spouses. In retirement, Dave and Harriett would take friends and family to Cabo San Lucas every year. She would join friends fishing on the Pacific Ocean. She is best known to her grandchildren and extended family for having Christmas Eve and Easter at her house, and whipping up a batch of her famous waffles anytime they came by to visit.
