Later in her career Anne became the Park Biologist for Big Lagoon, Tarkiln Bayou and Perdido Key State Parks. During the Gulf oil spill Anne boldly stood up for the protection of delicate coastal ecosystems in the Perdido Key area during the clean-up process.

Ernestine and Anne Harvey were in the 1% of people you will meet in your lifetime that truly cared about others. I can't begin to say how much Anne helped me in my life and career and gave me opportunities to do incredible natural history surveys in awesome areas. I knew Anne and Ernestine about 26 years, over half of my life.

Anne also supported, encouraged and taught numerous individuals and young people within the Florida State Parks and AmeriCorps during her career. Ernestine and Anne took in myself and so many other people as their own family and always made you feel welcome and at home in their home. Anne made an awesome quiche and over the years Ernestine gave me many jars of her canned jams, and gave me many great hot meals as a single guy. The positive impact of Ernestine and Anne on so many people will live on for decades to come! Anne's incredible impact on Florida State Parks and natural areas of the great State of Florida will live on for generations. Anne and Ernestine (and Jack!) were my friends and part of my "real" family in life. I will greatly miss them, but they will live on in my fond memories in so many ways.
