Harriett Schulte

Harriett V. Schulte            August 8, 1942 – October 4, 2025 Verona, Kentucky

Harriett V. Schulte (née Gorman) was the devoted and loving wife of Thomas L. Schulte and the cherished mother of Thomas W. (Michelle), Susan V. (Layne), Michael D. (Christine), and Anthony G. She was a proud and adoring grandmother to T. Mitchell (Taylor), W. Andrew, William G. (Anna), Jacob T., Tessa E., Anna M., Ella C., Emma R., Everett R., Jessie V., and Jack A., and the beloved great-grandmother of Addie Mae.

Harriett, the eldest of eight children, was preceded in death by her parents, Louis W. and Valia A. Gorman, and is survived by her siblings Valerie, Sheila, Juliette, William, Mary, Michael, and Michele, who will always remember her as a devoted sister and role model.

Harriett was a proud graduate of the St. Elizabeth School of Nursing and worked in both emergency and pediatrics (Temple & Egan). She later chose to pause her nursing career to dedicate herself fully to raising her family. Harriett embraced motherhood and homemaking wholeheartedly, often drawing on her nursing skills to care for those she loved most. After her children had grown, she returned to nursing in the home healthcare field.

When Harriett became a grandmother, she was always eager to babysit. Her grandchildren will never forget the countless hours she spent caring for and spoiling them, and her delicious root beer floats. She was devoted to her faith and an active member of her church. Through the years, she cultivated numerous deep and lasting friendships and greatly enjoyed time spent with her bridge club and camping groups.

A woman of many talents, Harriett was a gifted seamstress and could often be found at her sewing or embroidery machine, taking care of countless mending requests and creating beautiful quilts and personalized treasures for her family and friends. Harriett was a wonderful cook who delighted in entertaining loved ones. The meals in her home were delicious - always served on warm plates and followed by fresh coffee and homemade desserts. She truly had a gift for turning ordinary moments into something special.

Harriett leaves behind a lasting legacy of love, kindness, and compassion. She approached every task with dedication and grace and will be remembered for her warmth, her generosity, and her unwavering pursuit of excellence in all she did.
