Harriet Rubin

January 15, 2022

Harriet Eleanor Solomon Rubin, 99, passed away peacefully January 15, 2022, with her daughter and family by her side, at home in Westminster, SC, overlooking the tranquil lake from her bedroom window. She lived with her daughter and son in law, who respected her wishes to pass peacefully at home. At times Harriet would ask Marsha, "Are you going fishing — and can I go on the boat?" Harriet was born in Brooklyn, NY and was the daughter of the late Barney Solomon and Dorothy Blum Semmel. Harriet had been a Manicurist and Pedicurist at various Barbershops and Beauty Salons until the age of 90. Harriet, known for her generous and giving heart, was a wonderful mother, daughter, wife, sister, aunt and a nana to all. Always the life of the party... she never missed any family functions. Harriet loved golfing, dancing, cruises, and preparing exquisite meals at family gatherings. Harriet is survived by her daughter Marsha Duvall (husband Thomas), sons; Mitchell Gallander (wife Barbara), Robert Gallander, brother, Michael Solomon, grandchildren; Marcus Caruso (wife Nicole), Toni Thompson (husband Tommie), Alexa Gallander, Michele Gallander, Ernie Gallander, Freddie Gallander, Madelon Marchione, Brandon Gallander, Heather Martinez, and numerous great grandchildren and great-great grandchildren. In addition to her parents and husbands, Harriet is preceded in death by her brother, Martin Solomon and grandson, Shane Gallander.
