Born in New Castle, Virginia on August 2, 1924 to Ralph Wiley and Hattie Belle Hughes Goode. She grew up on the family farm before attending Virginia Polytechnic Institute, majoring in Home Economics

and graduating in 1945.

Following graduation she married fellow student Robert Floyd Reubush, Jr. that August. The couple moved to Philadelphia where Harriet was a dietitian at Germantown Hospital.

Harriet taught kindergarten in Fairfax County for over 20 years, her true calling.

Harriet will be remembered for her love of family, friends, children, her sweet smile, graciousness, strong faith and unselfishness. She was a special soul and will be missed by all who knew her.
