Obituary for Brenda Harp

Brenda Harp was welcomed to her Heavenly Home on Monday, September 9, 2024, after a short illness. She passed away with her family by her side.


Born on May 6, 1962, in Tampa, Florida to John and Betty Lou Harp, Brenda grew up in Brandon and excelled in multiple academic and musical activities. She played the piano, tenor saxophone, bells, oboe and English horn in various bands, orchestra and at church. She graduated from Brandon High School and then attended the University of South Florida, graduating with a degree in electrical engineering. Brenda worked at Hewlett-Packard and later as an entrepreneur, splitting time between her Valrico home and Bar Habor, Maine. She was involved with the USF Engineering Alumni Society, served as a Precinct Committeewoman for her Hillsborough County voting precinct, and attended the Presbyterian Church of Seffner where she enjoyed being part of the music ministry.


Brenda will be remembered mostly for her unending kindness and her love for her family. She was always willing to help others, even someone she had just met without expecting anything in return. She listened, gave advice about personal and professional matters, encouraged, and lifted them. She once found a solution for a friend whose family was at risk of losing their home.


Brenda is preceded in death by her mother, Betty Lou Harp and is survived by her partner, John Atteberry; son, Michael Harp-Hawkins and his fiancée Samantha Wilson; grandchildren, Anson, Asher, and Alder Hawkins; father, John Harp; brother, Bradley Harp and many beloved cousins, and extended family. A graveside service will be held Saturday, October 5 at 1:00pm at Seffner Cemetery on East Wheeler Road followed by a Celebration of Life service and reception at the Presbyterian Church of Seffner at 2:00pm. In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation to the Crisis Center of Tampa Bay, https://www.crisiscenter.com/
