Amy Marie Harvey, age 61, of Polo, MO, passed away Monday evening, January 10, 2022, at her home. Amy was born on Dec. 27, 1960, the daughter of William and Henrietta (Garrett) Allen in Independence.

She was a self-employed artist and art teacher. Her gifted works are on display in many places.
Amy married Robin Harvey on Feb. 1, 1997, in Independence. She was a member of the Polo Christian Church. Amy was a great encourager for her clients, students, parents of students, family, friends, and all of those whom she came in contact with. She was a woman of great faith and loved Jesus. Amy impacted many people’s lives and their walk with the Lord. She was full of life and the most fun adult many people had ever known; she loved having fun.
