Irene Louisa Harvey

Our free spirited, tree hugging lover of the environment , a wife, mother, sister, grandmother, aunt and friend to all, passed away peacefully on November 26, 2014 at the age of 86 years, at home, according to her wishes. Irene was ahead of her time when it came to conservation and preserving the earth and everyone respected and loved her for that. She taught us all the right way we should be doing things and most times with humour and fun. Her teachings will live on especially in her grandchildren, Lisa (Brad), Nathalie, Dean and Andrew whom she impressed with her wisdom and unconditional love. Her joy to hold her great granddaughter Soleil was evidence of her loving nature. Her husband Phil and children, Paul (Lola), Jane (Mike) and Bob, along with her surviving siblings, Gerry (Edna), Audrey (Dave), Eleanor (Howie) and Wally (Justyne) predeceased by her brothers Jim (Elayne), Doug and his surviving wife Ivy, will miss her spontaneous dancing, her giving nature and her knack to always be there when needed. She will always be with us. A private family funeral will be held after cremation and a celebration of her life will be held for family and close friends on December 13th, 11:00 am – 3:00 pm, 16 Burton Grove, King City. No flowers please, just go hug a tree for Irene. Arrangements entrusted to Thompson Funeral Home 530 Industrial Parkway South, Aurora. On-line condolences may be made at www.thompsonfh-aurora.com
