STEUBEN – Irma I. Fickett Greenlaw Holland, 77, went home to be with the Lord Monday, June 21, 2004, at a Milbridge healthcare facility. She was born March 6, 1927, in Harrington, the daughter of Bernard and Abbie (Harrington) Fickett. Irma came to know Christ as her Savior at the age of 12, and was a faithful servant. It was very important to Irma to be sure that everyone in her family made that same decision. During World War II, she sandblasted airplane parts and made bullets at a converted automobile manufacturing plant in Detroit, Mich. Irma was also a waitress for many years, and returned to Maine in the late 1940s. For many years she was a custodian at the Ella Lewis School in Steuben, and was also a crew leader for Wyman’s Blueberry Co., with her husband George Holland in the field harvesting division. She enjoyed family gatherings at her camp. Irma is survived by her husband of 38 years, George Holland of Steuben; three daughters, Linda Rolfe and her husband, Ambrose, Pamela Farnsworth and her husband, Larry, all of Cherryfield, and Elizabeth Hammond and her husband, Arthur, of Steuben; seven grandchildren, Bruce Rolfe and his wife, Roberta, Kim Thompson and her husband, Bill Jr., all of Steuben, Wayne Farnsworth and his wife, Sara, of Ellsworth, Tammy Feero and her husband, Harry, of Alton, Abbie, Justin and Alycia Hammond of Steuben; seven great-grandchildren, Kristen, Amanda, Nichelle, Bryce, Taylor, Logan and Caleb; two brothers, Earl Fickett and his wife, Dorothy, of Milbridge, and Bernard Fickett Jr. of Addison; and several nieces, nephews and cousins. She was predeceased by six brothers, Arnold, Nathaniel, Drew, Alva, Ira, Irving; and three infant brothers; two sisters, Dora Roy and Jenny Dyment; half sisters, Jane Kelly, Jean Goodwin and Joanne Grant. Irma’s family would like to thank her caregivers at the Narraguagus Bay Health Care Facility in Milbridge, and a special friend, Gloria McKenny. Friends are invited to visit with the family 6-8 p.m. Wednesday at the Bragdon-Kelley-Campbell Funeral Home, 47 Main St., Milbridge.
