Remembering Nancy

A life held close in memory

Nancy Grubert Harvey (March 13, 1960 — January 25, 2013) was a devoted mother, grandmother, and a familiar presence in her community through her small business, Atlanta Car Company. Born in Yoakum, Texas, Nancy built a life centered on family, hard work, and support for those around her. She took pride in running a local dealership and in treating customers and employees with fairness and respect.

Family was central to Nancy’s life. She is remembered by those close to her as a nurturing grandmother and caring mother who delighted in time with her children and grandchildren. She leaves behind a large family that includes siblings, children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren who carry forward fond memories of her generosity and spirited care.

As a business owner, Nancy was known in the Lexington area for running Atlanta Car Company with determination and a practical kindness that helped many local customers. Her work represented more than an occupation; it was part of how she engaged with neighbors and supported her household.

Her family chose to celebrate her life with a service where friends and relatives gathered to honor her memory and the many small, everyday acts of love she offered. In lieu of flowers, the family suggested contributions to the Susan G. Komen organization, reflecting causes important to them.

Nancy’s life was marked by steadfast devotion to family, a strong work ethic, and a quiet generosity toward others. Those who knew her remember her presence in their lives and the comfort of the roles she cherished: mother, grandmother, business owner, and friend.
