Gracie (Irick) Maxcine Harden, 85, went home to be with her Lord and Savior on Friday, August 6, 2021 at Stanley Total Living Center. Gracie was a wonderful daughter, wife, mother, grandmother and great-grandmother. She was an excellent cook and had a green thumb. She was extremely family oriented. Gracie was active at Midway Baptist and she was also heavily involved in her church’s bus ministry with her late husband, Harmon. Gracie will be dearly missed by all that knew and loved her.
Gracie is preceded in death by her husband, Harmon Wesley Harden. The couple was married for 58 years before his passing in 2014. Gracie is the daughter of the late Anna Mae (Hicks) Irick and Dallas Carroll Irick. She is preceded in death by her sisters, Gladys Pauline Swift, Willa Mae Morrison, Lena Dee Andrews, Dorothy Lee Dugger and brothers Glasco Irick and Haley Irick.
