The library has an extensive collection of old newspapers & since you know the date of death, locating an obituary should be easy. Contact the newspaper room at 717-787-3883 & they should be able to tell you if they have copies of the newspaper from that time. There will be a small charge for them to furnish the obituary to you, but worth it to you. Or if you live in the Harrisburg area, you could always go to the library.
