Agnes Holden, went home to be with her Lord on March 28, 2024, in Canton, MI, at the age of 97. She was born on August 26, 1926, in Hohenwald, TN to the late Desmon Huggins and Pauline Pennington Huggins.

Her days were often spent in the tranquility of her garden or the focused calm of sewing, she crafted countless quilts that warmed both bodies and hearts. Agnes’s love for canning vegetables was matched only by her joy in sharing them with friends and neighbors. A devout reader of her Bible, she found strength and solace in its passages every day.

Agnes had an endless love for game shows, bingo, and the laughter they brought will be fondly remembered by all who knew her. Her legacy is one of love, dedication, and the gentle touch of her hand-stitched quilts, forever wrapping us in her memory.

In addition to her parents, Desmon and Pauline, she is also preceded in death by her husband, Arnold H. Holden, nine siblings, and her sons-in-law, Al Holloway and Jim Wardle.

She is survived by her daughters, Cora Holloway, L. Sue Wardle, Edna “Eddi Stirsman (Chuck), and Lisa Thebeau (Mike); nine grandchildren, 23 great-grandchildren, 15 great-great-grandchildren with #16 due in July.

Visitation will be from 11:00 a.m. – 2:00 p.m. on Wednesday, April 3, 2024. Funeral services will begin at 2:00 p.m. on Wednesday with Blake Farr officiating. Burial will follow in Napier Cemetery, Hohenwald, TN.
