Kathryn Margaret Harvey

7/20/1914 –1/12/2015

Kathryn M. Harvey passed peacefully in her sleep

January 12, 2015. Born in Santa Rosa, CA., Kathryn grew up in Santa Rosa and San Francisco. In 1931, at the

tender age of 16, she fell in love with Buell Harvey, the boy behind the candy shop counter, and eloped with him in an April rain storm. They were married 44 years

before his passing. They settled in Sacramento where they raised two children. She served as a civilian “Rosie the Riveter” and was commended for her skill with a lathe during WWII. She is remembered for her playful smile, kind, carefree heart, and feisty spirit. She loved sweets, the cinema, and a tidy house; her cookie jar was always full, her laughter always filled the kitchen, and her flower beds were always in bloom.

She is survived by her sister Virginia (Bill) Jacks of

Seabrook, TX., three nieces, daughter June Moore, and son, Stanley Harvey, both of California; grandchildren Greg Ross (Joy), Gary Ross (Kathryn), Jeff Ross (Brenda), Robert Ross (Sherry), Lisa Madden (Pat), Stephanie Smith (Rick), great-grandchildren Sara, Greg Jr., Cindy, Nicholas, Eric, Jeremy, Christina, Nikki,

Lindsey, Nathanael, Micah, David, Natalie and Ethan, and 8 great-great grandchildren. She was preceded in death by granddaughters Kristen and Karen Harvey, and great-grandchildren lil’ Gary, Tiffany, Joel and Stephen.

We will always love you- 100 years young.
