George "Noot" Harvey

George Harvey, known as “Noot” by family and friends, was born Friday, September 10, 1937, in Orangeburg County, SC, son of the late Julius Harvey Sr. and Eliza (Pelzer) Harvey. George received his formal education in the Orangeburg County School System. In the 1950’s, he moved to Harrisburg, PA, where he met the love-of-his-life, Elease Kennerly who became his loving wife of sixty-three years. As a dedicated employee of Petroleum Products Corporation, he retired with fifty-five years of service in 2016. George was united in Christian fellowship with Tabernacle Baptist Church where he faithfully served with the Trustee and Senior Usher Ministries. Among his special interests and pastimes were large gatherings and reunions, traveling in his van, trips to Vegas and riding his motorcycle. He wholeheartedly loved his family and friends. But, most of all, George simply enjoyed sitting on his porch watching the cars go by. On Thursday, August 10, 2023, while surrounded by his loving family at the UPMC Community General Osteopathic Hospital, Harrisburg, George transitioned from this earthly life into eternal life at eighty-five years of age. Along with his parents, he was preceded in death by one brother, James Harvey; granddaughter, Arashae Harvey; and great-granddaughters, Kayla Evans and Nevaeh Kennerly. George “Noot” Harvey leaves many irreplaceable memories and his love to his devoted wife, Elease Harvey; sons, Terry Kennerly (Betty) and George Harvey Jr. (Phyllis); daughter, Stephanie Logan (Mark); and nephew/son, Douglas Allen. George’s legacy will also be honored by his grandchildren, Danielle Kennerly and Terry Kennerly Jr.; great-grandchildren, Michael Evans, Terry T. Kennerly, Kierra Evans and Laterion Kennerly, all of Harrisburg, PA; his siblings, Julius Harvey of Lewisberry, PA, Rosa Keith (Eugene) of Harrisburg, Earline Wise of Charlotte, NC, Morgan Harvey (Adelle) of Harrisburg, Elizabeth Cortez (Charles) of Riverdale, MD, and Smittie Harvey (Joanne) of Dumfries, VA; as well as a large host of nieces, nephews and cousins.
