Harriett Lou Ella Muise, 87, passed away on September 2nd, 2021at Arlington Memorial Hospital in Arlington TX. She was born on August 12th, 1934 in Bristol, VA to Jesse James and Edna Chloe (Wheeler) Grogan.

Known to many as ‘Mickey’, and to almost all as ‘Nana’, Harriet spent her early years in Bristol, Tennessee as well as Baltimore, Maryland. She spoke often of her childhood, and the trouble she would get into with her younger sister Kay. As a youth, she enjoyed dancing and singing in the choir. Harriet married Richard Muise in 1955 in Fort Lauderdale, FL on Christmas Eve. They were happily married for 26 years, having lived in Waltham, MA, Chelmsford, MA, Riverton, WY, and Pawtucket, RI and raising their four children together. Harriet was the owner of the Open Door Christian Book Store in Riverton, WY. She then went on to own Bara Answering Service in Riverton.

Harriet moved to Arlington, Texas in 1991 to be closer to her family. She enjoyed traveling, having been all over the world from Bermuda to Greece, and frequently travelled all over the country to visit friends and family. She enjoyed playing cards and games, singing, doing crossword puzzles, and spending time with her children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren. She was known for her fiery Irish temperament, her ‘rose colored’ view of the world, her warm and welcoming personality, and her profoundly deep love of her lord and savior Jesus Christ. She was a member of Faith Assembly Church of God.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Jesse James Grogan and Edna Chloe Young, husband Richard

Muise, sister Carolyn Kay Boone, daughter Lynda Muise Schmidt, and grandson Bryson Richard Muise.

The Irish Blessing: May the road rise up to meet you. May the wind be always at your back. May the sun shine warm upon your face; the rains fall soft upon your fields and until we meet again, may God hold you in the palm of His hand
