SALLY HARVEY Obituary

SALLY HARVEY Sally Harvey, 82, of Henderson, passed away May 30, 2017, at home, with family by her side. She was born near San Francisco, California, where she lived most of her life. In 1998, after the death of her husband, Norman Harvey, Sally moved to Sun City MacDonald Ranch in Henderson, to start a whole new life. Sally quickly became an active member of the Sun City MacDonald Ranch community. She enjoyed a second career working as their Activities Director full-time for several years before retiring to part-time work as a receptionist at the front desk of the community center. Sally participated in many clubs serving as Dance Club President, Variety Club Secretary, Co-Queen of the Red Hat Foxy Lady's Club and dancer with the Sunsations and MacTappers. The highlight of her life was dancing in a group on America's Got Talent, Season 11, Episode 3, which aired in 2016. Although the dance group didn't win, Sally had the time of her life performing on national television and becoming a local celebrity at home. Sally led a full and happy life and was an inspiration and source of encouragement to all who knew and loved her. Sally is survived by her two daughters, Sue Frank and Carla Tomaszewski; four grandchildren, Christine, Christopher, Anna and Catherine; and one great-grandchild, Ethan. Per her wishes, her body was cremated by the Neptune Society. Celebration of life will be 1-3 p.m. Tuesday, June 13, at the Sun City MacDonald Ranch Community Center, located at 2020 W. Horizon Ridge Parkway, Henderson, NV 89012. Sally will be remembered as a loving person who lived life to the fullest and greeted people with a warm smile and a great big hug. Sally will be greatly missed by everyone who knew her.

Sally was the Lifestyle Director at Solera at Anthem for many wonderful years. She knew what the residents enjoyed and made every effort to provide trips and activities for active seniors like herself. She was the best Lifestyle Director Solera ever had or ever will have and we missed her when she was "replaced". No one could replace her wonderful outlook on life and I wwas happy to know how she stayed so active at McDonald Ranch. We missed her greatly and know everyone who knew and loved her share so many wonderful memories of her busy life. Thank you Sally for all you did for us to make life fun! Always have happy memories when I think of you. Bless you and your family.

I had the privilege of knowing Sally from the time she moved to MacDonald Ranch. She was always enthusiastic, encouraging and so willing to be helpful. She leaves behind so many whose lives are better for knowing her.

I opened the obituary page this morning, and we were so saddened to learn that Sally had passed away. Tom and I met Sally when we moved here in December, 1998. She was our guardian angel, and we could always count on Sally for a warm smile, a loving hug, and help whenever we needed help getting adjusted. Tom was a good friend even more, as he danced his heart out, at the shows year after year with Sally and all the other wonderful performers at Sun City. Sally, you have a heart of gold. We shall never forget you. We are sure you are already dancing your way through Heaven. Bless you Sally, and your family

What a lifetime she had and we were happy to share moments with her. I worked with her when she was Activities Manager and I was Properties
Director. Her dance activities got her all the way to National attention. Myself as past Nevada Senior Olympic Basketball Director, want
to give to her relatives a well deserved Olympic Gold Medal for save keeping. See ya on the June 13th. With Love, Gill & Vikki Rennekar
