Rest In Peace Harriet Wyche
If you live anywhere near Greenville, you have enjoyed Falls Park. It's pretty much a law in the Upstate. Everyone loves the park. But no one loved it more that Harriet Smith Wyche. Long before anyone enjoyed the bridge, the flowers, the performers, the stages and the lights, Harriet Wyche saw something in the overgrown, underused area around the Reedy River waterfalls that most people didn't.
Wyche died over the weekend. It is not stretch to say that the park would not be what it is without her tireless efforts. She got the Foothills Garden Club involved in cleaning up the park in the late 1960s long before anyone even noticed it was there. She led fundraising campaigns, helped acquire property and did a lot of things behind the scenes that no one really noticed. She was a leader in Greenville. She will be missed.
Rest in Peace Harriet Wyche.
