With heavy hearts, we mourn the passing of Allyson Harvey of Queensland, Australia, whose life, though far too short, was filled with passion, kindness, and a remarkable spirit. Born on July 16, 2007, Allyson’s journey came to a heartbreaking close on March 20, 2026, leaving an immeasurable void in the lives of her family, friends, teammates, and the wider community.
Allyson was a talented and dedicated former player of the Wests Juniors Australian Football Club, where she found not only a love for the game but also a sense of belonging and camaraderie. Joining the club in 2022 from Moggill, she quickly became a valued member of her team. Her commitment and enthusiasm were evident in every match she played, and reaching the milestone of 50 games last June was a proud and memorable achievement. She played with heart, determination, and a joy that inspired those around her.
Beyond the football field, Allyson’s impact was just as profound. For 13 years, she was a devoted member of the Girl Guides, serving across Happy Valley, Kenmore, and the Moggill District. Allyson embodied the true spirit of Guiding—she was kind, thoughtful, resourceful, and deeply respected by her peers and leaders alike. Her journey was rich with meaningful experiences, from camps and campfires to community events like ANZAC marches and the Gunfire Breakfast. She embraced every opportunity with enthusiasm and a genuine desire to contribute.
Allyson had a beautiful way of lifting others. She brought joy to every gathering, always ready for adventure and always giving her whole heart. She stood up for what was right, encouraged fairness, and quietly made the world around her better. Her warmth, her laughter, and her unique spirit—right down to her memorable introduction of jam and Vegemite on damper—will forever be cherished.
She is deeply loved by her family, including her mother Cat, her sister Emma, and all those who shared in her Guiding journey. Her absence will be felt profoundly, but her legacy of kindness, courage, and love will continue to live on in the hearts of all who knew her.
Allyson Harvey will be dearly missed, forever remembered, and always honored.
