Cathy Mitsue Harvey

Please join us virtually for the Memorial Service will be live streamed. 

Cathy Harvey passed away peacefully with her family by her side on December 2, 2022 at the Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore. 

Cathy was born on July 31, 1960 to Edward and Irene Izumi in Washington, DC.  Cathy and her family made their home in Maryland City.  Upon graduation from Meade High School in 1978, Cathy went to work for Montgomery Ward in Laurel, Maryland.  It was there that Cathy met her love and future husband, Calvin Harvey, the City’s current Fleet Maintenance Superintendent.  Cathy worked at Montgomery Ward until it closed in 2001 when she was hired by the City as a Personnel Specialist II and was promoted up the ranks to HR Specialist III.  Cathy was often the first face new employees saw during their orientation and was always available to answer questions and generally assisted all employees with personnel and benefits questions.  Due to illness, Cathy was forced to retire in October 2021. 

Cathy’s greatest loves were her daughters Amy and Elizabeth.  Traveling to volleyball games and tournaments became a family event and always brought a smile to her face.  Seeing her daughters as they grew into lovely young women brought her such joy!  Family was Cathy’s priority. 

Cathy will be greatly missed by her husband Calvin and her daughters, Amy and Elizabeth, as well as her father, Edward, brothers, Laren, David, Kenny and Michael, her in-laws William and Mary Harvey and numerous nieces and nephews as well as her City of Laurel family.  Cathy was preceded in death by her Mother, Irene and her sister Karen.
