Gail M. Harvey
Gail M. Harvey, 79, of Chester Hill, passed away September 3, 2020, at her home with her loving family by her side.
Gail was born January 14, 1941, in Philipsburg, Pa, to the late Paul C. and Helen M. (Verost) Fox. Gail was a graduate of the former Morris Township High School.
She was employed with several area businesses during her working career. These included the former Batcho Office Systems, of Clearfield, and the former Curtiss -Wright Corp., of Quehanna. However, Gail was employed for much of her career as a signals analyst with HRB Singer/ Raytheon Technologies Corporation in State College. She retired from Raytheon with over 37 years of dedicated service.
Gail, following her beloved mother and father’s dedication to the Catholic church, was a devout Catholic and played very active roles in the church community. Gail served as a Eucharistic Minister at Saints Peter and Paul Church in Philipsburg and attended Steubenville Conferences, an outreach of the Franciscan University of Steubenville. She also attended Saints Peter and Paul Church in Hawk Run and the Immaculate Conception Church of Osceola Mills.
Gail was married on November 18, 1961, in Drifting, to Richard D. Harvey, who survives at home. She is also survived by two daughters, Alicia E. Harvey, of Chester Hill and Diane M. Harvey and her husband, Keith E. Voss, of New Hope; two sons, James M. Harvey and his wife, Elizabeth C., of Gray’s Woods and Christopher P. Harvey, of Chester Hill; two dear granddaughters, Emily C. Harvey and Alexis N. Prout; one brother, Gerald J. Fox and his wife, Janet D., of Hillsboro, Tennessee; and numerous other extended family members.
Gail, along with her husband Richard, was an avid motorcyclist, touring 47 of 48 US states (absent Delaware) plus Quebec and Montreal in Canada. During one of their most memorable travels, they logged over 6,000 miles on a single trip!
Gail was also known for her stunning signature red hair and her sense of style. She was a caring daughter, a supportive mother, and a very proud grandmother. Her beautiful voice, her enduring faith, and her commitment to her family will always be fondly remembered.
Due to COVID 19 limited gathering restrictions, a private viewing was held at Beezer-Heath Funeral Home & Cremation Services on September 6, 2020. A family Mass of Christian Burial was held at St. Agnes Catholic Church in Morrisdale, on September 7, with Rev. Robert J. Horgas, celebrant. A graveside ceremony will be held at the convenience of the family.
