November 28, 2022

Peacefully at the Mount Hope Centre for Long Term Care, Janet Harvey, at age 77. Loved and cherished by her son Chris (Jane), and her grandchildren William and Emma, all of London. Sadly missed by her sister Ruthanne Poulin Thain (Doug) of Blenheim, her brother Bill (Treena) of Chatham, brother-in-law Chris Coombs (Phyllis) of London, step-mother Frances Harvey of Chatham and her many nieces and nephews. Predeceased by her parents Bill and Florence Harvey, her sister and brother-in-law Patricia and Max Smith, her sister Merrilee Coombs and brother-in-law Frank Poulin.

Janet Lynne Harvey was born on December 2, 1944 and grew up in Morpeth, where her parents owned and operated a restaurant and gas station. She moved to Chatham and worked for many years at local grocery stores. She relocated to London in 2000 and was the bakery and deli manager at Price Chopper until her retirement.

Janet was a devoted mother and grandmother and will be remembered for the love and pride she had for her grandchildren. She rarely missed a hockey game or a school event. She was a terrific cook and was always ready with a meal and snacks for the kids.
