Obituary for Dorothy A. Harper (Smiley)
Dorothy A. Smiley Harper, 91, of Center Township, was called home on Tuesday evening, July 16, 2013.
Born May 5, 1922, in Burgettstown, she was a daughter of the late Leman and Frances (Davis) Smiley. She was married to the late Howard W. Harper who preceded her in death in 1998. She was also preceded by a son, William J. Harper, in 2011, and two brothers, Paul and Reamon Smiley. A person of strong faith and a longstanding member of North Branch Presbyterian Church, Center Township, Dorothy had also belonged to the church’s former women’s circle.
