Harriett Holder was born in Wilmington, North Carolina on March 18 th , 1932 .  She was the first of two daughters,

Harriett and Remell, born to Willie and Sarah Fennell.  In 1948, she married Jonathan Jefferson and had one daughter Cynthia.  Harriett spent her childhood years, growing up in Bronx, New York.  Later in life she met and married Lofton Holder, and

together they purchased a home in Englewood, New Jersey.

Harriett loved reading and studying the Bible.  This love led her to dedicate her life to Jehovah.  She was a Witness for more than fifty years.  Harriett spent many years as a regular pioneer in the Englewood East Congregation of Jehovah's Witnesses.  She studied sign language, and translated the Public talks at the congregation meetings, for the deaf mutes.  She conducted Bible Studies in sign language, and had the privilege of aiding others to study the Bible.

Even when her health was failing she made the effort to attend her meetings.   She enjoyed spending time with her brothers and sisters, and volunteering at the assemblies. She was not afraid to embrace today's technology, as evidenced by her organizing her assignments on her desktop computer and navigating her tablet.

She will be greatly missed.

Harriett leaves to cherish her memories daughter        Cynthia (Philip) Day, niece Patricia Chappell, and a           grandniece Adrienne Chapelle.
