Obituary of Linea Harvey-Seibert
Linea Ann Harvey, Long Time New Canaan Resident
Linea Ann Harvey passed away
September 4, 2012 at the age of 56,
after a long battle with cancer in her
family home, purchased in 1926. Linea
was born in Pittsburg, PA as the
youngest child of Edna Barnes and
Richard F. Harvey. She is also predeceased
by her brother, Steven Cabot
Barnes Harvey.
Linea studied theater at Bennett
College and received her BFA degree
from Vassar in 1978. She worked as a
fitting model for Elite Runway in
NYC for over 30 years.
She was an avid collector of
antiques, a joy she shared with her
brother, Steven. She had a great love
for gardening and for all animals,
mainly Cats, especially those that are
stray, feral and abandoned. She
believed that: “If God sent an animal
your way, He meant for you to care
for it!” The evening after Linea
passed, a skinny, stray, calico cat
appeared outside our garage. I know
that it was sent by Linea, and of course,
it was well fed. Linea volunteered for
Strays & Others, Inc. of New Canaan
for over 15 years.
She is survived by her husband,
Sinclair Seibert of New Canaan and
brother, Alan R. Harvey of Warren,
Ohio.
Burial will be private. A memorial
service will be held at 11:00 a.m.
this Saturday, September 15, 2012
at St. Michael’s Lutheran Church,
5 Oenoke Ridge Road, New Canaan.
In lieu of flowers, contributions
may be made in her memory to:
Strays & Others, Inc., P.O. Box 473,
New Canaan, CT 06840.
