Mrs. Harvey was born Nov. 19, 1958, in Lamar, to Russell and Doris (Morgan) Onstott. She was a proud member of the Lamar High School Class of 1976 and always enjoyed getting together with many of her former classmates.

She married her sweetheart, Mike Harvey, on June 30, 1978, and together they made their home and reared their two children near Lamar. Shortly after being wed, the two began Mike Harvey Construction, where they would go on to build over 150 new homes and businesses in the Lamar area. In the spring of 1993, she obtained her real estate license and began working for Barton County Real Estate. She later founded her own real estate office, Harvey & Co. Realty in 2010.

She was a lifelong member of the Oakton United Methodist Church and was always ready and willing to volunteer wherever there was such a need. Her greatest joy and most valued job was being Nana to her five grandkids. She was honored to have babysat all of them and was always a proud grandmother, attending their numerous sporting events, livestock shows and school functions.
