Harriet Ohrwaschel, 85, passed away on June 14, following a long fight with multiple myeloma.
Harriet wasn’t from these parts but often visited Bremen to spend time with her daughter, Esther, and son-in-law, Glenn Mariani. Harriet loved Maine and often drove with her son, Steve Ohrwaschel of Coatesville, Penn., his wife Julia and children Nathan, Dylan and Emily for family vacations on Webber Pond.
Harriet lived her entire life in Passaic, N.J. She married her late husband, Mendy, and gave up a career in nursing to be a stay-at-home Mom and raise her four children.
She leaves this world surely proud of her four kids, eight grandchildren and a great-grandchild on the way.
Harriet’s legacy is her wonderful family. In addition to Esther-M and Steve, she is also survived by daughters: Ruth Gruppo, husband John and children Johnny, Jamie and Paulie; and Roberta Gersh, husband Herbie and sons Mark and Michael.
Donations may be made in Harriet’s memory to the Lincoln County Animal Shelter, 27 Atlantic Highway, Edgecomb, ME 04556 or to the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society, 116 Euclid Ave., Westfield, N.J. 07090.
