Kathleen A. Harper, our beloved wife, mother, sister, grandmother "Gram", great-grandmother, 89, longtime resident of Mount Holly, NJ, left this world peacefully to be with our Lord on Friday, July 23, 2021 surrounded by family. She was a faithful woman, a devout Catholic attending Sacred Heart Church.
She was born in Queens, NY on February 16, 1932 to the late John and Frances (Bischoff) Robinson. This is where she met her devoted husband of 70 years. Kathy, an Army wife, traveled and lived in many places throughout the world.
Kathy, AKA "Irish" was a devoted and hardworking person, spending many years at the NCO Club in Fort Dix, CVS, Emily's Bar & Grill and truly enjoyed caring for her home. In addition, Kathy and her husband, owned M&T, Inc. in Browns Mills, NJ and S&H Used Cars in Wrightstown for decades.
With a nickname like "Irish," of course she was a bit stubborn, but even more, she was known by all for her generosity, kindness, love and zest for life, family and friends. She never missed a birthday or holiday and always made everyone feel so special.
Kathy loved the beach, the sunshine, Florida (visiting sisters Mickey and Betty Lou), trips to NYC, and Disney World. She was a strong, funny, fashionable woman, with a passion for shopping, and always picked the perfect gifts for her greatest loves, her husband, children and grandchildren. She was an avid Yankees fan who loved singing and dancing to Jimmy Buffet and Julio Iglesias.
Kathy was predeceased by her two sisters: Dorothy "Dottie" Dowd; Maguerite "Mickey" Kastin; two brothers: John "Sonny" Robinson Jr.; Harold "Harry" Javurek; and great-grandson: Alexander Ryan.
Kathy is survived by her beloved husband Thomas Harper; Sons: Thomas Harper (Karen), Wrightstown; Timothy Harper (JoAnne), North Hanover; Daughters: Jeannette Stravinsky (Eugene), New Egypt; Terry Ann Toland (Dave), Browns Mills; and former daughter in-law Sherma Heiss, New Egypt. She will be greatly missed by her grandchildren: Eugene Stravinsky; Jennifer Wheeler; Erin Duvall; Kyle Harper; Paige Harper; Alexandria Harper; Cailin Harper; and great-grandchildren: Dasia and Charleigh; Jocelyn and Niamh; and Colton. She also leaves behind her sister, Elizabeth "Betty" Lombardo (Arthur) and many more family and friends who will miss her dearly.
