Grace Ann Harpster, 89, of Beech Creek, Pa., passed away Wednesday, Nov. 4, 2026, at Mount Nittany Medical Center, State College, Pa.
Born June 19, 1937, Grace was the daughter of Arther and Mary Ellen (Heaton) Baney.
Grace was a high school graduate that dedicated much of her life to being a devoted wife, a supportive mother, a loving grandmother, sibling, neighbor and friend to all.
Grace married the love of her life, Theodore Harpster, in 1955, and together they raised a beautiful family. Grace and Teddy loved to go camping, playing slots at the casinos and enjoying a good buffet dinner together.
For many, many years Grace enjoyed cleaning the homes of others, a simple reflection of her hard work and love of pleasing others.
Above all else, Grace cherished her grandchildren. She loved nothing more than spending time with them, doting on them and making sure they always felt loved and cared for.
In addition to her parents, Grace was pre-deceased by several siblings and her loving husband of 71 years.
Surviving is a daughter, Lynda (Harpster) Houdeshell, of Howard; a son, Neil Harpster (Penny English), of Beech Creek; and two grandchildren, Kaleb Harpster (Mariah Ramer), of Alabama, and Ashley (Harpster) Widdoss (Donald), of Maine.
As per Grace’s request, no services will be held.
