Micah Leigh Holden

Micah Leigh Holden would like to let you know that her work here is done. She received a call, a sort of an offer you can't refuse, for an appointment from which she will not be returning. This assignment comes with a huge sign-on bonus, a reunion with family and friends she has not seen in a long time. Job security is exactly 110 percent. Her new mission takes her to a wonderful place where she will be socializing, writing, singing, painting, crafting, worshiping and praising to her hearts content. Music, laughter and love are guaranteed and the food is delicious. She left detailed instructions for her family and friends to celebrate her earthly mission which has now been completed. Micah Holden, of Searcy, Ar., died Monday July 27 after a long battle with colon cancer. She was born on Aug. 20, 1969 in Searcy, the daughter of Tommy and Pam Vandiver Green. She graduated from Lake Hamilton High School with the class of 1987. Micah later attended beauty school and began a successful career. On Jan. 27, 1990 she married her sweetheart, David Holden. They were blessed with two children, Thomas Ford and Emmeline Claire who brought them much joy. In her spare time, Micah developed a passion for creating her own artistic style of painting and unique crafting. Her relationship with Jesus Christ was the foundation of her every action and was evident in her artwork. Micah's memory will be cherished by her loving husband, David Holden of Searcy, two precious children, Ford and Claire both of Searcy; dedicated parents, Tommy and Pam Green of Searcy; mother-in-law Vivian Holden of Searcy; brothers Marcus Green and wife Tracey of North Little Rock and Adam Green and wife Sherene of Searcy; grandparents Jimmy and Almeda Vandiver and Wanda Green of Searcy; as well as a host of other family and many loyal friends.

Visitation will be held on Thursday, July 30 from 6pm until 8pm at Powell Funeral Home in Searcy with the funeral being held on Friday, July 31 at 2pm at First Baptist Church in Searcy. The family will be gathering at 1700 N. Maple in Searcy, the home of Micahs grandparents Jimmy and Almeda Vandiver. We will remember her smile, her warmth, her energy, her love for life, family and friends but also colleagues and clients, many of whom over time also became dear friends. She worked very hard all her life, up until the very end. She made a difference in the lives of many. We invite you to join us and celebrate her life together.
