Harriet E. Douglass, 80, of Elizabeth, died Thursday, Aug. 4, 2022. Born in Elizabeth on Sept. 1, 1941, she was the daughter of the late Earl and Henrietta Gregg Gamble. Harriet’s family and her extended family were very important to her, and she especially loved spending time with her grandchildren and great-grandchildren. She enjoyed baking, and nut rolls and cinnamon rolls were her specialty! She enjoyed visiting her parents, almost every day, at their home in Round Hill Cemetery. And she was very fond of her neighborhood friends on Circle Drive in Elizabeth, where many of the families were great friends, celebrating holidays and vacations together. She is survived by her husband of 64 years, Barron W. Douglass; daughters, Kimberly (Jim) Shawl of Lower Speers, and Shelly (Gil) Arredondo of Bentleyville; granddaughter, Rachel (Zach) Dobrinski; great-grandchildren, Taylor Morrison, Nathan Morrison, Kendall Morrison, Ryan McDonald, Charlie Dobrinski and Barron Dobrinski; and sisters, Edith Fisher of Forward Township and Nancy Sleith of Forward Township. In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her granddaughter, Meredith McDonald; and sisters, Loretta Gamble and Earlene Pierce. A private funeral service was held at JAMES C. STUMP FUNERAL HOME INC., 580 Circle Drive, Rostraver Township, 724-929-7934, www.jamesstumpfuneralhome.com, with the Rev. Mary Kay Glunt officiating. Harriet was interred in Round Hill Cemetery, where she is back together with her granddaughter, Meredith.
