Mildred (Midge) Jean Kulp, 81, of Clarks Summit, PA, died Friday at her home surrounded by members of her family. She was the wife of Robert E. Kulp, Sr. The couple has been married for 63 years.
Born in King of Prussia, PA, Midge was the daughter of the late Atwood R. and Elizabeth M. Rafferty Griffin. She attended Glen-Nor High School in Glenolden, PA.

Midge was an active member of the Abington Civic League and the Church of St. Gregory, where she sang in the choir and was a member of the Women's Guild.
Midge enjoyed reading, sewing, camping, and traveling, but her true passion in life was spending time with her family, especially her grandchildren and great grandchildren. She will be missed by all who knew and loved her.
