Harriett H. (Jaques) Curavoo of Colchester passed away suddenly September 2, 2015, at the University of Vermont Medical Center in Burlington.

Harriett was born in Starksboro on April 8, 1926, to Fred S. and Julia V. (Quirk) Jaques. Harriett grew up in Huntington. She graduated from Burlington High School, class of 1946. Harriett was employed by Sears Roebuck for many years.
