Harold Wengert Eavey

Harold Wengert Eavey passed away peacefully at his home in Charlotte on Monday, May 20, 2013. He began his adventure here on earth on July 16, 1924 in Lebanon, Pennsylvania and spent most of his early years in Wheaton, IL. He graduated from Wheaton College in 1948, where he met the love of his life, Shirley Bremer. Harold proudly served his country as an officer in the Navy during WWII. Shirley and Harold celebrated 62 years of marriage living on a lake, an ocean, a river and most recently a golden pond. Harold was a mentor and friend to many in his 40 year career at Scripture Press and ServiceMaster. He served in executive roles in marketing, training and development. His passion was coaching and growing young leaders, including those in his own family. He is deeply loved and will be sorely missed by wife, Shirley; his four children, Susan (Fred) Devin, Laurie (Bruce) Warner, Brian Eavey, Lisa (Aubrey) Walker; his grandchildren, Ryan, Peter, Brandon, Alex and Alyssa; three great grandchildren and his dog, Bambi. He will also be missed by his sister, Miriam Eavey. Harold made life fun and adventurous for his entire family. He was a kid at heart! Harold dedicated his life to the Lord at a very early age. He lived out his faith in his family, his career, his friendships and his church. A memorial service will be held 3:00 p.m. on Thursday, May 23 at Carriage Club, 5800 Old Providence Road, Charlotte, NC 28226. The family suggests in lieu of flowers any memorials be directed back to your own faith and family. Arrangements are entrusted to McEwen Funeral Service at Sharon Memorial Park, 5716 Monroe Road, Charlotte, NC 28212. Condolences and notes of sympathy at www.McEwenfs.com.
