It is with deep sadness that the family of Harvey Mayell announce his passing on Wednesday, March 13, 2024 at the amazing age of 100. He was very determined to reach this milestone and we are all so happy we could celebrate it with him. Harvey was born on the family farm in a small home on the bank of the big slough, in RM72 Lake of the Rivers district on October 22, 1923 to Charles and Beatrice Mayell. He had two brothers and three sisters. He attended Airlie School. Harvey joined the Air Force, Unit 262, for a year near the end of the war. Harvey started farming and had his first crop in 1945. He farmed with his brother Charles and son Calvin. Harvey married Eunice Campbell on June 23, 1951, and they had three children. He lived on this farm until he was 87 and then moved to Assiniboia in 2010. He enjoyed his family very much and treasured spending time together. Harvey took great pride in the family farm which included a seed growing business. He enjoyed every moment he could spend there doing what he loved. Even in his later years you could always find him there at his “Happy Place”. Harvey was very involved in the Alliance Church since it began in 1945. He held numerous positions throughout the years. It was an important part of his life. He had many other interests that included hunting, fishing, gardening, photography, poetry, restoring his 1st tractor and of course cheering on the Toronto Blue Jays, the Saskatchewan curling teams and the Riders. Harvey was predeceased by his wife Eunice, of 57 years, his parents, his two brothers and two sisters and their spouses, two infant brothers and his son-in-law Joe Salaba. He is survived by his sister Bernice, his three children, Janice Salaba, Calvin (Glenda), Valerie Clarke and their families. This includes 10 grandchildren and their spouses and 26 great grandchildren, also many nieces and nephews. His family was a huge part of his life with many cherished memories.

The family would like to thank the wonderful staff at the Assiniboia Union Hospital Long Term Care for taking such great care of Harvey for the last three and a half years. He was very comfortable and content there.
