Harvey Earl McAnulty, age 95 years, of Colorado Springs, Colorado passed away peacefully surrounded by his family, on November 25, 2025.
He was born on November 7,1930, in Enid, Oklahoma to Cedric E. McAnulty and Audrey (Henderson) McAnulty. Growing up in Stillwater, he graduated high school in 1948 then enrolled at Oklahoma A&M (Oklahoma State University) graduating with a BS in Zoology in 1954. He was in Advanced ROTC, received an Army commission upon graduation and served 2 years of active duty and 6 years in the Army reserves. Upon his honorable discharge, he completed a BS in Geology in 1958. As there were few opportunities for a young geologist at that time, Harvey entered the new field of computer systems development.
Throughout his five-decade long career, Harvey worked in government contracting, for an oil company, for Colorado Springs city and El Paso County. He was vice president for several companies. While his technical and analytical skills were superb, Harvey was truly a people person; his warm, genuine smile and friendly manner always made others feel valued and at ease. A life-long Methodist, Harvey was a pillar in his church community. Active in his neighborhood, he reactivated the Friendship Crescent Mesa Neighborhood Association. He was also active in the Civitan Club and held leadership positions in several professional computer organizations.
Harvey is survived by his devoted wife of 73 years, Frances Foshee McAnulty, of Colorado Springs; daughter Debra M. Lovell (Mark), son Michael W. McAnulty, and daughter Laura S. McAnulty (Jim Cote); grandchildren Amy Lovell Boylls (Nicholas), Lisa Lovell Chesnick (Kyle), David Lovell, Justin Lovell, Lauren E. Cote (Ben Snyder); great grandchildren Peyton Boylls, Paxton Chesnick, Sophia Chesnick, and Cordelia Snyder.
Harvey's memorial service will be held on December 20, 2025, at 1:00 PM at First United Methodist Church, 420 N. Nevada Ave, Colorado Springs. Donations in his honor may be made to the John Wesley Ranch in care of First United Methodist Church. For further details, visit www.swan-law.com
