She was a member of the Front Royal Presbyterian Church for over 60 years, an active DAR member, and a Scout Den Mother.

Mrs. Harvey enjoyed playing bridge and scrabble.
Mrs. Harvey was preceded in death by her husband Donald in 2003, and her brothers Lindsay and Edmund and sisters Martha, Susan, Lillian, and Leonora.
She is survived by one sister, Sadie Martin Dean, NC; her sons Ronald G. Harvey (Althea) and Donald E. Harvey (Kristi); two granddaughters Dr. Stephanie Harvey Danker (Brendan) and Ashley Harvey Troyer (Ryan); and two great grandsons Caleb and Jordan Troyer.
A memorial service will be held at the Front Royal Presbyterian Church on Saturday July 5 at 11:00 am with the Rev. Dr. C. Thomas Rhyne officiating. Visitation with the family will be after the service.

Ronnie, Donnie, and Family,
I was so sorry to learn of the passing of Mrs. Harvey. I have so many fond memories of both she and Mr. Harvey as Mr. Harvey was my first boss. They were such wonderful people and it was always fun to see Mrs. Harvey when she would stop by, maybe going to her hair appointment. Both always shared stories about family and I am so glad to have known your mom and dad. Please know all of you are in my thoughts and prayers. Diane DeBergh Moore

Ronnie, Donnie, and Family-
When some of us would visit Eloise at Sunnyside, we always talked of the Karistan rug that she and Mr. Harvey sold me. I also remember Chief taking her to play Bridge in Front Royal, and she continued playing Bridge up to the end while at Sunnyside. She was a gracious Southern lady, and her loss is felt by many. She was so proud of her sons and their families, and she will be missed by many.
