Ann Fontaine Harvey, 76, of Lawton, Oklahoma passed away Monday, July 10, 2023, at her home in Lawton.

Ann Fontaine (Allen) Harvey, daughter of Harvey Fontaine Allen and Loyce T. Allen was born May 17, 1947, in Kansas City, Missouri. She grew up in Tulsa, Oklahoma with her younger sister Mary and her baby brother Jeff who she lovingly called T.J.

Ann loved being a mother supporting her children in whatever activities they chose to keep them busy. That support and encouragement continued throughout their lives. She was the "neighborhood mom". Her home was a place where everyone was welcomed, well – fed, and especially loved. She was proud that she helped establish the local PTA's. She was on the elementary, junior high, and senior high school boards simultaneously.

Ann was very creative. She enjoyed crafts of all kinds, and always enjoyed a good book. Staying behind in Lawton, she kept the home standing while supporting Bob while he was away serving in the U.S. Army. They lovingly gave each other a hard time for 40 years.

She loved The Wizard of Oz. On July 10, 2023, she started flying with the blue birds over the rainbow.
