Alice England Harvey passed away peacefully on the morning of June 29, 2022. She was born July 5, 1933, to John Elmer and Evelyn England in Tooele. She was the sixth of eight children. She loved to be outdoors, especially if that meant being with her dad. She had fond memories of being out in the fields helping her dad as a child. She married the love of her life, Ronald, known to most as Harv, July 7, 1951. They were able to spend 60 wonderful years together. They were inseparable. You never saw one without the other. When the family thinks of Alice and Harvey, you can’t mention them without remembering their trusty companions Yogi, Fifi, and Tippie. They went everywhere with them.
Many family parties were held at their house on the golf course. Her relatives looked forward to gathering golf balls in the summer around the water shed, and sledding down the driveway in the winter. Alice had many hobbies such as crafts, playing cards, and oil painting. Those paintings can still be found on the walls of her home. She also liked to take old furniture, strip off the paint, and refinish it. She was a seamstress by trade. She worked for Micky at Custom Upholstery where they reupholstered old furniture. One of her more famous pieces was done for Air Force One. She reupholstered the seats. She was very proud to tell everyone about that!
Alice was preceded in death by her husband; dad; mother; brother-in-law John (Curley) Crosby; sister-in-law Arlene Crosby; and three sisters Mary (Monty) Wollam, Maxine (Gene) Falkenrath, and Bonnie (George) Hunter. She was also preceded in death by her brothers-in-law Lloyd Tonelli, Warren (Cap) Whitlock, and Duane Garrard. She is survived by her sisters Betty Tonelli, Helen Whitlock, and Marjorie Garrard; along with a brother Leo (Joanne) England. She will be extremely missed by many nieces and nephews who loved to go visit her.
Graveside service was held Tuesday, July 5, 2022, at the Tooele City Cemetery.
A special thanks to those who cared for Alice at the Rocky Mountain Care Facility along with those who assisted her at Cottage Glen. Alice will truly be missed, but as a family we know she’s in a better place!
