Dorothy Yancey Harpine, 99, entered eternal rest on February 4, 2026, in Harrisonburg, Virginia. She was born on September 27, 1926, to her loving parents, the late George and Ruth Yancey.

A graduate of Keezletown High School, Dorothy continued her education at National Business School in Roanoke and Madison College. On November 27, 1947, she married Mark Clinton Harpine, who preceded her in death.

Together, she and her husband owned and operated the Valley Gift Shop on Court Square in downtown Harrisonburg. They were warmly known and respected in the community until their retirement.

Her legacy lives on through her children, Mark Clinton Harpine II (Linda) and Marsha Moore (Kenneth); her grandchildren, Stacy deCordova (Leon), Andrea Adams (Kirk), Kenneth Moore Jr. (Rachel), and Matthew Harpine (Flower); and her eleven great-grandchildren: Leon, Kedric, and Emme deCordova; Clayton and Ryder Adams; Trey and Cason Moore; and Gabriella, Kale, Conner, and Gunner Harpine.

She was a devoted member of Muhlenberg Lutheran Church and an active resident of the Virginia Mennonite Retirement Community, where she was cherished for her kindness, warmth, and welcoming spirit.
