Mary Frances Harvey

MARY FRANCES HARVEY, 61, of Dunbar, West Virginia, went home with the Lord on October 25, 2025 at Thomas Memorial Hospital after a long illness.
She was born on October 17, 1964 to Craig and Wanda Spaniol in South Charleston, West Virginia. Being the first of three children and the first grandchild, everyone was enamored with her.
Mary graduated from Dunbar High Schools in 1982 where she was a member of the band and was a majorette. Mary went on to study nursing at the University of Charleston. After graduating in 1984, she worked at Thomas Memorial Hospital for 34 years in Coronary Care Unit and Perioperative Surgery Center. She was a skilled and compassionate nurse who was known for going above and beyond for her patients.
She married her soulmate, Ronnie Harvey, on April 15, 1985, sharing 40 years of marriage. Together they have three sons and six grandchildren, who were the loves of her life. She loved to spend time at her second home, Oak Island, North Carolina. When she wasn't collecting seashells and making crafts with them, you would find her at the shore under an umbrella with a book. In addition to her love of the beach, she loved to spend time at their cabin in Reedy, where she enjoyed sitting on the porch at night watching the stars.
Mary was a devoted mother and grandmother and enjoyed special times with her grandchildren, creating priceless memories. Mary was incredibly smart, witty, and fun to be around. Mary was a Christian and loved the Lord.
She is preceded in death by her mother, Wanda Spaniol; her grandfathers, William Spaniol and Kenneth Stover; along with her grandmothers, Mary Spaniol and Sybil Stover. She is also preceded in death by four unborn grandchildren, whom she now holds and loves in heaven.
Mary is survived by her husband, Ronnie Harvey of Dunbar; her sons, Adam Harvey of Dunbar, Ron Harvey and wife Victoria, and children Elijah, Charlee, and Parker of Nitro, David Harvey and wife Melissa, and children Noah, Lucas, and Gavin of Dunbar; father, Craig Spaniol of Dunbar; father-in-law, Ronald Harvey; brothers, G.C. Spaniol and wife Melissa, of Hope Mills, North Carolina; Michael Spaniol or Dunbar, and son, Trucker Buckely of St. Albans, and host of family and friends.
Her family would like to thank her medical team at Thomas Memorial Hospital for their dedication to her care, and to thank blood and platelet donors who continue life for many in need.
