Una Grace Rutledge Currier, age 91, of Harriman, passed away on Saturday, September 23, 2023. She was born on September 12, 1932. She was a loving mother, grandmother, great-grandmother and soon to be great-great-grandmother but most of all she was a Christian that prayed for her family and read her Bible every day. She attended Harriman Baptist Tabernacle for over 50 years and gave many children candy at church for a hug in return. You never left her home without a hug and some candy. She worked as a bookkeeper at Acme Drug Store until its closing. Besides her family, she loved her Dr. Peppers and roses. Her grandkids made her incredibly happy bringing her roses over the past few months. She made sure we watered and put ice in the vases every day. She loved going to the beach with her family and went until she could no longer make the walk to the beach due to her health. She never complained while being on Hospice. Now she is in Heaven – no more pain and no more suffering!
