Harvey Eugene Watkins, age 93 of St. Marys passed away on July 4, 2022 at Otterbein after a brief illness.

In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his wife of 71 years, Peggy L. (Winner) Watkins; brothers Jake, Jim, Ray, Roger, Lawrence, Charles, and John Watkins and sisters Elsie Spence, Evelyn Markin and Josephine Metz.
He is survived by his children: Kathryn (Kevin) Hirschfeld of Bordentown, NJ; Karen (Tim) Corcoran of Chillicothe, OH; Marsha Watkins (Eunice Hornsby) of Columbus, OH; and honorary daughter Cheryl Burke of Celina, OH.
