JACQUELINE "JACKIE" HARVEY

November 14, 2024

Jacqueline “Jackie” Harvey, formerly of Kincardine, died Thursday, Nov. 14, 2024, at her residence with love and family surrounding her. She was 75. Jackie lived a wonderful life full of love, adventure and laughter. She was born in 1949 in Toronto, to Tom and Hazel Conway, and joined her two older twin sisters, Diane and Joanne. She is survived by her husband of 54 years, Nick; her two daughters, Leigh (Chris) Fletcher and Kris (Trever) Lessard; and her four grandchildren, Cole, Chase, Bradey and Katie. She met her best friend, Nick, in Sarnia in 1970 and shortly after, they were married and shared a wonderful, loving marriage, living most of their life in Kincardine. Their time together was full and happy, spending time with their two girls and eventually their families, and enjoying travel, golf, cards and socializing with their many friends. Jackie had a passion for life and laughter and excelled at many things, including being a published author and a talented athlete at any sport she tried her hand at, especially golf, tennis, volleyball and Pickleball, to mention just a few. Being such a social person, she was always surrounded by her family and many friends who loved to listen to music, dance and play bridge. With a wicked sense of humour, she often shared her hilarious stories and was seriously funny with whom all she crossed paths. She knew at the age of 10 that she wanted to be a teacher, and did not have one regret, teaching was her calling. She taught at W.E. Thompson and Elgin Market primary schools in Kincardine for most of her career, and the students and staff she worked with, adored her. Her husband, daughters, grandchildren and sons-in-law will miss her dearly, along with the many close friends in her life. Cremation has taken place. At Jackie’s request, there will be a private Celebration of Life at a later date. Interment, Kincardine Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, donations to the London Health Sciences Centre (LHSC) – Cancer Program would be acknowledged by the family; arrangements entrusted to Denning’s of Strathroy.
