Planters Bank donates to APSU scholarship honoring former employee Cindy Harvey
October 3, 2012
Clarksville, TN – On a rainy Monday morning, members of the Harvey family gathered in the lobby of Planters Bank on Commerce Street. That’s where their beloved mother and wife Cindy Crutcher Harvey worked as vice president of cash management before she passed away in February 2010.
After her death, the family created the Cindy Crutcher Harvey Endowed Scholarship at Austin Peay State University, to give deserving students an opportunity to earn a college education. On that Monday morning, Harvey’s former employer, Planters Bank, made a major contribution to the endowed scholarship.
