Venicia Venitia Hardin, 84, went into the loving arms of our Lord and Savior on October 2, 2022 in her home in Lakeside, Arizona.  Venicia fought the good fight, she finished the race, she kept the faith and now she has received the crown of righteousness which the Lord the Righteous Judge awarded to her this day.  Venicia was born June 24, 1938 in Cabot, Arkansas to the late Vernon Elmore and Marie Goforth Elmore.  Venicia had such a love for her home town, Cabot, Arkansas, and the love of her life since she was fourteen years old, the late Milton T. Hardin for over sixty years.  She loved her family and friends so much.  Her motto for her Senior High School yearbook was "To love and be loved is the greatest happiness of existence ".  She lived out that love everyday of her life.  Venicia loved the Lord, faithfully attended church and raised her children, grandchildren and great grandchildren to love the Lord.  She was the most loving, kind person you would ever meet.  She was also the best daughter, wife, mother and friend that anyone could ever ask for.  In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her husband, Milton T. Hardin and two brothers.

Left to cherish her memory are her children, Michelle Smith (George), Keith Hardin (Martha) and Kevin Hardin, numerous grandchildren, great-grandchildren, extended family members and friends.
