Katherine “Cappy” Harper Danielson of Butler died peacefully on March 23, 2020, surrounded by her family following a courageous battle with pancreatic cancer.

She was born Oct. 28, 1939, in East Orange, N.J., to Fred and Annette Harper, who preceded her in death.

Cappy is survived by her three children, Holly (Jay) Miller of Sewickley, Amy (William) Reik of Sarasota, Fla., and David (Amy) Cook of Hampton.

She is also survived by her 10 grandchildren, James (Lauren), Tyler, Duncan, Chadwick, Haley, Trey, Chase, Harper, Allison and Megan; three great-grandchildren, Mason, Weston and Hudson; and the-one-and-only, Michael “Mickey” Haley.

Later in life, Cappy enjoyed an adoring partnership with Tom Smith and his loving family, his son, Tommy, his daughter, Jayne, and his grandchildren, Macie and Braden.

Cappy lived a full life actively working until she was 78 years young and will miss her many friends in real estate and interior design in the region. Those who knew her well, know Cappy’s legacy is marked by her immense heart for those in need and endless compassion for her friends and family.

Cappy was an avid golfer and enjoyed her regular “Tuesday’s at Two” gatherings, playing bridge, travel, and of course her favorite food — bacon!

Cappy was a lifelong member of the United Methodist Church in Butler, an 18-year member of Butler Elks Lodge, a proud member of the Non-Member Club, former member of the Butler Country Club, and could often be seen at various Shrine dinners, and dances around town.
