Marjorie Icenhower Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Groce Funeral Home & Cremation Services - West Asheville on Mar. 30, 2026.
Marjorie Sue Icenhower, 94, of Asheville, passed away on Monday, March 30, 2026. She was born to the late Ted and Essie Baker in 1931. She is also preceded in death by her husband, Clarence L. Icenhower.

Marjorie worked as a customer service representative at First Union Bank and was later promoted to Customer Service Trainer, a position which she retired from. She spent her life giving to those in the Leicester community, volunteering for 23 years at ABCCM as a counselor, and 10+ years at the Leicester Community Welcome Table. She was also a passionate member of Western Chapel Church, where she served as the Sunday School superintendent. Marjorie was an accomplished seamstress and loved to cook. She made sure that all who met her left with a full belly and wide smile.

Marjorie is survived by her children, Rick Icenhower (Joy) and Yolanda Gibson (Fred); grandchildren, Benjamin Icenhower (Katie), Stacy Anders (Chris), Zachary Stewart (Miranda); and great-grandchildren, Avery, Jaden, Stella, and Sienna.

The Icenhower family would like to thank the diligent staff of River Bend Assisted Living and Hospice for their wonderful care.

In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation to the Brick Church Fund, P.O. 53, Leicester 28748, or Western Chapel Church, P.O. 1657, Leicester 28748.

Marjorie's family will meet friends at 4:00 p.m. Saturday, April 4, 2026, at Groce Funeral Home on Patton Avenue. A Memorial Service will be held following the visitation, with Pastor James Hendon

To plant trees in memory, please visit the Sympathy Store.

I still remember Marjie teaching our sunday school class at Western Chapel. One of those things I'll always remember from my childhood.

Margie has been like a second mom to me for forty plus years. She was a dedicated client of my hairstyling career. She will be by many who loved her but I know I will see her again. Love and prayers to you Yolanda and Ricky.
