Sallie Jane Harvey (nee McClay) age 82 of Aston, Pennsylvania formally West View Shores in Earleville, Maryland and Darby, Pennsylvania entered Heaven peacefully on Wednesday October 2, 2024.
Born July 1, 1942, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and moved to Darby, Pennsylvania as a young child and graduated from Archbishop Prendergast High School. She had many fond memories on Woodbine Avenue where she grew up and started her own family raising her two adoring children. Retired from Mobil Oil in her 20s to work and retire from Mercy Fitzgerald Hospital in 1988 as a medical assistant to help care for her granddaughter, Jacquelyn. From the moment Jacquelyn was born they were inseparable and had a bond unlike any other. She loved spending her days with both of her grandchildren watching General Hospital and Full House. She spoiled them both and loved them endlessly. With her grandson, Scott they bonded over their love of hip-hop music. Her favorite fond memories of Woodbine Avenue would have to be her Christmas Eve parties she held for all of her family and friends where everyone had the best time and partied all night! Sallie could command a room like no one else could. Always the best dressed head to toe. Smart, strong, and quick-witted are just a few of the many ways to describe her. Her favorite place of all time was West View Shores. She spent her time relaxing on the beach, collecting seashells and sea glass, walking her dog Quinn, and watching the beautiful sunsets over the bay. But we can’t forget Elvis. She loved everything Elvis. She would play his music endlessly, always dancing in the kitchen to her favorite songs.
Strong to the very end, she spent her last years living with her husband, daughter, and son in law while also being cared for by her granddaughter. She loved especially getting to see her great grandchildren every day. They brought the biggest smiles to her face.
Predeceased by her beloved son, Kevin Harvey and her parents John and Grace McClay.
Survived by her husband, Chuck, her loving daughter Kimberly and son in law Scott Smith, her cherished grandchildren Jacquelyn Laber (John) and Scott Smith (Brooke), her great grandchildren John Kevin, Sophia Joan, Emerson Rose, and Rhett Scott, her siblings John McClay (Cecca), Harry McClay (Karen), Mickey McClay and Debbie Brassell, and many loving nieces and nephews.
