Harriet was born on January 5, 1954 in St. Cloud, Minnesota to Earl and Lucille (Bernhagen) Naegeli.  Harriet grew up in Sauk Rapids and graduated in 1972. Harriet married Jerry Lehner on September 10, 1977 at Peace United Church of Christ in St. Cloud. Together they raised their sons Jake and Adam in the St. Cloud area. Her grandson Brody was her pride and joy, whom she enjoyed spoiling and enjoyed a close and positive relationship.

Harriet retired in 2018 after working 30 years in Special Education for the St. Cloud School District. She met and developed many relationships with countless, talented people who guided and helped her along the way. Thanks to all.

Harriet loved “Cruisin” on the big ships to the Caribbean islands and heading up to Canada to fish for walleye. But most of all, Harriet’s biggest passion was growing up at the Naegeli family cabin on Grand Lake.

Harriet is survived by her husband, Jerry; sons, Jake of Monticello, Adam of Burnsville; one grandson, Brody; sisters and brothers, Nona (Jay) Peterson of Sauk Rapids, Joe (Jan) of Nisswa, Wendy (Kent) Kalm of Mankato and Russ (Brenda) of Sauk Rapids.

She was preceded in death by her parents; and brother, Paul.

Memorials are preferred in lieu of flowers.

Jerry and boys – Karen and I are very sorry to hear of Harriet’s passing. We’ve been talking about coming out to see you guys again and now that opportunity is behind us. As kids we’d write letters back and forth and having a friend like her about my own age made being a teenager easier. Though i haven’t seen her often both Karen and I will miss her. Please keep in touch and we may still make the trip one of these days. Take care

Sorry for your loss Jerry an Family,

Jerry, Jake and Adam:
My heart goes out to all of you. Harriet was an amazing person and she fought a valiant battle. Her attitude on life was inspiring. I will miss our visits at family gatherings. Sending my sincere condolences to all of you.

Harriet was always so nice to us as boys coming over to her house to hang out with Jake. She treated our group of friends like family. Our hearts go out to you guys!
