Irva Lillie Harp
Berlin

Irva Lillie Harp, a devoted wife, mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother, passed away peacefully on June 9, 2025, at the age of 94.

Born in Philadelphia on June 28, 1930, to Leonard and Sarah Seither, Irva was a loving and steady presence in the lives of all who knew her.

She was preceded in death by her beloved husband, Edward Harp, who passed in 2013 after 64 wonderful years of marriage. Irva is survived by her daughter, Barbara Miccolupi of York, Pa., and her son, Edward Harp and his wife Deborah of Berlin, MD.

She also leaves behind her cherished grandchildren: Gregory Harp (Gretchen) of Macungie, Pa.; Christine Reptsik (Joshua) of Berlin; Christopher Miccolupi of York, PA; and Daniel Miccolupi (Lydia) of York, Pa. Her great-grandchildren include Amber Plachko (Jacob) of Kutztown, Pa.; Mackenzie Harp and Camryn Harp of Macungie, PA; and Isabell, Monica, and Josephine Miccolupi of York, Pa. Irva is also survived by many loving nieces, nephews, and extended family members.

Irva raised her family in Allentown, Pa., while working in retail before retiring to Cape Coral, Florida, in 1988. She later moved to Berlin in 2008, where she continued to share her warmth and kindness with everyone around her.

A private celebration of Irva’s life will be held at a future date for immediate family.
