Irma Solomon Harpe

ALBANY — Irma Solomon Harpe was born November 1, 1919, the fourteenth child of 
the late Will Solomon and Mary Guilford Solomon in Cuthbert, GA. She departed 
this life on September 21, 2006, at Phoebe Putney Memorial Hospital. She joined 
Friendship Baptist Church in Cuthbert at an early age and served faithfully 
until she moved away.

Martin Luther King Jr. Drive, Albany with interment in Floral Memory Gardens, 
120 Old Pretoria Rd. The Rev. Dr. Daniel Simmons officiating.

Irma was united in holy matrimony to Mr. Charles Harpe on the 6th day of March 
1946. Due to his military career, they traveled extensively and lived in many 
places, including several countries in Europe. Their longest stay in one place 
was three years in Austria.
