Oakland, Maine-It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved Sister, Mother, Nana, Grammie, Aunt, and friend Ethelyn Mae Harvey on Thursday, October 20, 2016, with her family by her side. Ethelyn was born February 27, 1941, in Cape Porpoise, Maine, the daughter of Justin Jr. and Ione (Mawson) Foss. She graduated from Kennebunk High School.
Ethelyn found great joy in spending time with her entire family and friends. She had many hobbies including boat building, doll making, woodworking, painting, fishing, boating, cooking, and sewing. Ethelyn was also an avid swimmer, volleyball player, basketball star, golfer, tennis player, an extraordinary artist, and a dutiful teacher. She enjoyed teaching those who wanted to learn and shared all her knowledge and wisdom to those she came in contact with. Ethelyn was one of a kind and lived her life to the absolute fullest. She instilled in us all what it means to be a true family. "I can't promise you that I will be here for the rest of your life but I can promise that I will love you for the rest of mine."
Ethelyn was predeceased by her husband of 46 years Paul Harvey; her sister Pauline Foss; and brother Justin Foss III.
Ethelyn is survived by her sister Ada Skillings; three loving daughters, Elizabeth Lane and partner Gil Drouin, Laura Harvey and partner Ron Burwood, and Cindy Harvey and fiancé Keith Woodard; nine beloved grandchildren, Rachel Lane and partner Kevin Smith, Paul Garland, Roy Garland, Michael Garland and partner Katie Seeley, Ricky Lane II, Katie Lancaster and husband Travis Lancaster, Nicholas Lane and partner Jen Swett, Jeff (Jay) Quirion and partner Tamran Laliberte, and Trisha Ware; 17 great grandchildren whom she loved dearly, Tyler, Noah, Parker, Kylie, Jacob, Kaydence, Mackenzie, Alexis, Makylee, Ricky III, Lily, Jackson, Morgan, Haylee, Paige, Ali, and Aerek; lifelong friends, Carolyn Emilie and Connie, and countless others.
For those who would like to attend, a graveside committal service will be held in Kennebunkport, Maine at the Arundel Cemetery.
As a family we would like to thank you for all the wonderful memories, you will be missed forever. We love you! (Lawry Brothers Funeral Home and Central Maine Newspapers 10/24/2016)
