Harriett was born December 31st , 1948 in Marietta, Georgia to Maudie Lee (Henry) & JD Clackum, Sr. and was the baby of fifteen children. She went on to graduate from Sprayberry High School in 1966. On February 19th, 1968, she married Raymond Glen Matiak of LaCrosse, Wisconsin, they were together until his passing in 2019 and raised 3 children together. She held many jobs thru her working years; medical assistant, phone operator, purchasing manager, and finally caregiver, which she seemed most proud of.
It really meant something to her to care for those in need or less fortunate than she, even when
struggling herself. She was known to be generous to a fault, even when there was very little to share.
She was a great cook; it was one of many ways she showed her love for her family. She enjoyed
traveling and did so until her health created limitations; by then she had many, many miles under her belt. She was funny, talkative, strong-willed, fiercely independent, and even a little sassy, yet easy to love; loved deeply and will be missed immensely.
