It is with deep sadness and a heavy heart that we announce the passing of Lori Harvey on October 21, 2013 from complications post cancer treatment.Lori has been a very special part of the family of Errington’s Wilderness Islands. She came to the resort in 2001 with enthusiasm, a willingness to take on anything, a big smile and a fear of the water (ironic that she would be working from an island on a lake). By the end of her first year apart from waitressing and cabin cleaning , she was driving a boat, doing nature tours by pontoon boat (assured by Ivan Madahbee that bears don’t swim-he still chuckles about that) and cooking shore lunches .
Lori met Larry Harvey when he came to work at our resort in 2002, they fell in love with, or in spite of, the encouragement and scheming of staff and guests and married in the fall of 2008. During her illness, Larry was a very strong support and advocate for her well being. He was, in summary, amazing!
Over the years Lori’s sense of humor and positive attitude endeared her to many of our guests who have sent prayers and well wishes during this past year. Her love of the resort, staff and the people who visited us showed in her daily actions. She was dearly loved by all of us.
Lori, you are rainbows of vibrant color woven into the tapestry of the resort and you will never be forgotten. Even now I see you with that huge smile on your face. I will miss you deeply and will never forget you. You are in our hearts. We love you.
