NORA FLORENCE HARVEY
(nee DALY)
January 13, 1923 - June 8, 2020
She was born at Cartwright, Manitoba on January 13, 1923.
She was predeceased by her parents, Helena and Clarence Daly; brother, Gordon Daly; sister, Beth Daly; daughter, Jill Harbicht; and grandson, Mark McLean.
She is survived by her devoted husband of 72 years, Norm Harvey; brother, John Daly (Norma); sister-in-law, Lois; and sister-in-law, Lori Lewis; son, Robert (Carol); son-in-law, Steve Harbicht; daughters, Judy (Jeff) McLean, and Jane Wittstock; 14 grandchildren and 18 great-grandchildren.
After completing her public education at Cartwright school, she moved to Winnipeg, where she took her Nursing Diploma, worked at Misericordia General Hospital, and met her husband. They were married June 12, 1948. She and Norm lived in Wellwood, Pilot Mound, Lynn Lake and Souris during the early years of their marriage.
In 1966 they moved to Winnipeg. Nora was a school trustee for the Fort Garry School Division for many years, and volunteered extensively for the Canadian Cancer Society, and with the Liberal Party of Canada. In the 1990s, Nora was appointed to the National Film Board of Canada, where she served for a number of years.
Over the course of her life, she was very involved with her United Church family, most recently Fort Garry United Church. She lived her life thinking about others, and was the first person to help anyone in need.
Music held a special place in her heart. She was involved with various musical endeavours over the years, and encouraged her children to pursue a musical education. Family was very important to Nora; their cottage at Rock Lake was where she and Norm hosted many happy family gatherings.
Many thanks to the staff at the St. Norbert Nursing Home, and more recently, Weinberg 3 at the Simkin Centre.
A memorial service will be held at a future date.
If so desired, in lieu of flowers, a donation can be made to a charity of your choice.

We got to know Norm & Nora 20 plus years ago, as we both lived at Rosemount. We were privileged to have them as kind, caring friends. Nora was a LADY in the full sense of the word, always attractive in her appearance. Will miss her. Our sympathies & love to Norm & family. - Posted by: Bill & Helen Janzen (Friends) on: Jun 17, 2020

My condolences to the Harvey family on the loss of Nora. Although I have been out of touch in recent years I have good memories of getting to know the Daly family when my mother married Les Hunt. Nan Christie - Posted by: Nan Christie (Hunt relation) on: Jun 13, 2020

My condolences to you Norm and to all the family. I am recalling what a great many wonderful visits and gatherings we (Marjorie and I) shared with the Harveys over the years. Nora was a particularly fine friend, and a great source of wisdom and caring. Brian Trenholm - Posted by: Brian Trenholm (Friend from Fort Garry United days) on: Jun 13, 2020
