We recently learned that Harriet Middlebrook, retired Fifth Avenue School teacher, passed away on April 11 at the age of 88. She is survived by Victor, her husband of 62 years, sons Craig and Todd, and four grandchildren.

After college Harriet served with the United States Navy as a registered nurse with a rank of Lieutenant ( junior grade). After leaving the Navy she returned to school and earned at Master of Arts in Education from Hofstra before beginning her career as an elementary school teacher in East Northport.
