Nancy Harvey Petty Obituary
We are sad to announce that on October 22, 2025 we had to say goodbye to Nancy Harvey Petty (Grand Junction, Colorado). You can send your sympathy in the guestbook provided and share it with the family.
In the sacred silence of farewell, Nancy is released into the embrace of eternity, knowing that her light will continue to shine brightly in the tapestry of the lives of her loved ones. And as her memory is carried forward, may comfort be found in the knowledge that love is eternal, and that Nancy's spirit lives on in the beauty that surrounds us.
She was predeceased by: her parents, William McCabe Harvey, Sr. and Frances Turner Harvey (Allison); her husband Dr. Wendell M. "Del" Petty; and her brothers, William McCabe Harvey, Jr. and Richard Turner Harvey.
She is survived by: her sisters, Mary Harvey Bixler (Curtis) of Selbyville, DE. and Jane Harvey Dane (Andrew) of Salisbury, MD; and her aunt Harriet Turner Strong of Evanston. She is also survived by six nieces and nephews as well as extended family.
In keeping with the legacy she and Del created, Nancy helped establish student scholarships through the Western Colorado Community Foundation. In lieu of flowers the family suggests donations to the Dr. W. M. and Nancy Petty Scholarship Fund.
