She was raised in Stanley where she received her education, graduating from Stanley High School in 1954. She then attended Stevens Point Normal School and received her teaching certificate. Harriet was united in marriage to Lawrence J. Halida on May 28, 1955 at St. Mary's Polish National Catholic Church in Lublin, WI. She taught at the elementary school in Poynette, WI and later taught special education in Sparta, WI.

Harriet had many interests, including spending time with her family, her time spent on the farm, reading, playing cards, and watching the Packers and Brewers. She also was a great animal lover, especially her cats, and enjoyed traveling with her husband when they were younger. Harriet was a very compassionate and understanding person who was loved by all.
