In Loving Memory of Harriette Buckman (1935 – 2024)

We honor the memory of Harriette Buckman, a cherished member of our community, a passionate bridge player, and the beloved mother of one of our members at The Lake Club Women’s Giving Circle.

Harriette was not only known for her sharp mind at the card table but also for her generous spirit. Throughout her years with us, she contributed significantly to our initiatives, helping us reach new heights in our efforts to make a difference.

In a final act of incredible generosity, Harriette made a substantial donation to our circle. This significant contribution has been designated to our granting fund, which supports a variety of projects and causes that were close to Harriette’s heart. Her legacy will live on through the important work funded by her generosity, ensuring that our community continues to thrive and benefit from her kindness.

We extend our deepest sympathies to Harriette’s family and express our gratitude for her years of dedication and kindness. Her memory and contributions will forever inspire and impact our community.
