LANEXA — Our beloved Harriet E. Lemons, 75, suddenly departed this life Wednesday, Dec. 23, 2020, at Sentara Williamsburg Regional Medical Center, Williamsburg. Her earthly journey began Feb. 11, 1945, daughter of the late John F. And Frances T. Lemons in New Kent County.
She was educated in New Kent County Public Schools, graduating from George W. Watkins High School with the Class of 1963. She was employed with the Colonial Williamsburg Foundation, where she retired after several years of service.
Harriet spent countless hours crocheting afghans, sweaters and scarves. She also loved a good search-and-find word game and T.V. shows like Rifleman and Gunsmoke. Her favorite hobby was her family. She loved spending time with them as much as they enjoyed spending time with her. She truly will be missed by those who knew and loved her.
She was preceded in death by her daughter, Anita Lemons. Fond and beautiful memories will forever be cherished by her sons, Antoine (Suprina) and Brian Lemons; five grandchildren, Antoine, Aliyah, Kortland, Kaiden, and McKenzie; aunt, Lillian Howard; two devoted nieces, Dale Pryor and Gill Minor; and a host of other loving relatives and friends.
A memorial service will be held at noon, Tuesday, Dec. 29, at Whiting’s Funeral Home. Due to the current health pandemic, only 10 people may be in attendance. Facial coverings and social distancing are required. Facebook livestreaming will be available at the beginning of the service.
