Ruth Harvey Obituary
She graduated from Millville High School class of 1949 and worked at several sewing factories. In her earlier years she enjoyed raising pigs on the farm with her husband Amos. Elaine looked forward to getting her paper every morning so that she could do the word searches. She was a talented doily maker, crocheting them and giving them away for gifts.
Elaine is survived by grandson Jeremy Zimmerman, two sisters-in-law; Norma Sweeney, Evelyn Carr, son-in-law Ronald Zimmerman, and caregiver and close friend Janelle Kapp.
Elaine was preceded in death by her husband Amos Harvey, son Amos "Punk" Harvey, two daughters; Darlene Zimmerman, Sharon Kressler, son-in-law Flint Kressler, sister Marcia Buck, and two brothers Scott and Arthur Sweeney.
