Dolores Hazel Harbert (DEE) passed away peacefully on August 12th, 2019 in the company of her loving family. She was 72 years old and had lived a wonderful life full of joyous moments and memorable experiences with her dear friends and family. She is survived by her husband, Charles S Harbert (CHUCK), who she shared over 50 years of marriage with while raising their three children Cindy, Scott and Kyle. Dee would eventually become a grandmother to her beloved grandchildren Jessica, Casey, Kenny, and Colby. As a family, they did a lot of travel together to some of their favorite family destinations including Crescent Bar, Lake Tahoe and Maui. She especially loved the annual river rafting trip with her sister Nancy and the trips to Dabob Bay with her brother Doug. After Chuck and Dee retired, they traveled to more remote locations together including Australia, Asia and Africa. She always had a vibrant spirit and a healthy sense of adventure. To fill her time between adventures, she was actively involved in charity and other altruistic gestures. She did a lot of volunteer work for Children’s Hospital and made regular donations to the Susan G Komen Foundation and various Alzheimer’s charities. Whenever she had the choice between self and others, she always chose others. Whenever she had the choice between being right and being kind, she always chose kindness. She gave us inspiration on how to live a happy fulfilling life and she will truly be missed by the many people that knew and loved her.
A Celebration of Life in loving memory of Dee will take place on September 6th at 3pm with a reception to follow. The service will take place at the Mercer Island Community Center.
