DORIS (DOLLY) HARVEY 1912 - 2002 Doris (Dolly) Harvey, (nee Downie) beloved wife of the late Alex Harvey of Winnipeg, passed away at the Foothills Hospital in Calgary, AB on Thursday, June 6, 2002, after a wonderful journey through life, at the age of 89 years. Dolly was born in Winnipeg on September 22, 1912 and received all her education there. She married the love of her life, Alex, on January 23, 1937 and lost him all too early in December of 1975. They raised their family together and enjoyed lots of camping and many wonderful trips in Dads homemade camper trailer. Dolly moved to Alberta to be closer to her family in 1998. She had been active in the Eastern Star, enjoyed curling at West Kildonan Curling Club, Toastmasters and playing bridge with friends. Her kindness to everyone who knew her was something very special. Her most favourite place in the world to be was at Jessica Lake in the Whiteshell, sharing the Harvey cottage with many friends and family. She adored all the birds, animals, flowers and trees at this special place and spent many wonderful summers there. Her most fervent wish was to go back there one more time, but for all her family she will be there forever with Dad. Dolly is survived by her son Burt (Vicky) of Calgary, AB, her daughter Dianne (Wayne) of Strathmore, AB, her loving grandchildren, Sheeghan (Mike) of Sicamous, BC, Jayson (Krista) and Scott all of Calgary, AB; and her special great grandchildren, Meeghan and Chace and Jakob and Tyler Van (who shared her birthday). Besides her loving Alex, Dolly was predeceased by her sister, Maggie and Dave Watson and brother, Jack and Connie Downie. Her incredible tough spirit will surround us all and we should all strive to maintain her gentle manner and gifts of kindness she shared with everyone. Funeral Services will be held at McINNIS & HOLLOWAYS "Crowfoot Chapel", (82 Crowfoot Circle N.W., Calgary, AB), on Wednesday, June 12, 2002 at 1:00 P.M.
