Harriet Chapell Dunlap, age 94, of Amarillo, Texas, passed away on December 20, 2025, in Amarillo.

There are no services scheduled at this time. Her family will follow her wishes and her ashes will be scatted in Hawaii.

Harriet was born on April 30, 1931, in Orange, New Jersey, to her parents, Clarence Lorenzo Lattin and Cornelia Chapell Newcomb Lattin. She had been a resident of Amarillo since 2015.

Before moving to Texas, Harriet lived in Honolulu, Hawaii, where she worked for seven years as a sales clerk with F.W. Woolworth. Throughout her life, she was active in service and fellowship, holding memberships in the Order of the Eastern Star and the Daughters of the Nile.

Harriet had a deep love for knitting and weaving and enjoyed traveling to area craft shows. Her generosity was evident in her many charitable works. Through the Episcopal Church in New Jersey, she knitted items for those in need and also provided handmade gifts to merchant ships sailing from New York and New Jersey ports each Christmas, offering kindness without regard to the ships’ countries of origin. She also knitted for the Linus Project, Amarillo CASA and sewed for the Shriner Crippled Children’s Hospital.

Some of Harriet’s most cherished moments were spent with her family, especially during time together at the cottage, where lasting memories were made.

Harriet will be remembered for her warmth, creativity, generosity, and devotion to her family and community.

She was preceded in death by her parents and her brother, Fred Lattin.

Harriet is survived by her children, Bill Dunlap and wife Debbie of Amarillo, John Dunlap and wife Suzie of Puyallup, Washington and Elizabeth Jean “Becky” Dunlap and her partner, Les Isley of Pendleton, Oregon; five grandchildren; nine great grandchildren and cousins, Diane Burns and Janice Norton.
