Margaret Harrison "Margie" McGuire Hancock of Madisonville, TN, formerly of Jonesboro, AR, passed away on May 15, 2020 at her home following a lengthy illness and brave battle. Margie was born on August 22, 1942 in Sweetwater, TN. She is preceded in death by her parents, Dr. H. M. McGuire and Mrs. Betty McGuire. She is survived by a daughter, Tracey Anderson (husband Terry) of Jonesboro, AR and a son, Scott Hancock (wife Christie) of Fayetteville, AR. She has 4 grandchildren, 2 great grandchildren. She is also survived by her brother, Butch McGuire of Sweetwater, TN and her sister, Dr. Ann McGuire Grooms of Gainesville, FL. Margie is a graduate of the University Of Tennessee School Of Nursing, where she was the President of her graduating class. Throughout her nursing career, she was known to provide some of the best care because "she cared" and had a passion to help others. She served as a clinical faculty member in the School of Nursing at Arkansas State University, was a Certified Wound Care Specialist, worked in national sales for SCA Molnlycke Health Care for many years before retiring from Augustine Medical. Margie was the consummate helping hand and involved in numerous organizations and charities to make lives better, including Junior Auxiliary and United Cerebral Palsy of NEA. She was an avid University of Tennessee football fan and rarely missed cheering on her beloved Vols, either from the stadium or from the comforts of her home. Her "heehees" echo through the Smokey Mountains with each Volunteer touchdown. A memorial service will be held for close family and friends at her home in Madisonville, TN. In lieu of flowers, please consider making a donation to the charity of your choice, American Cancer Society or Sweetwater Hospital Association Home Health, where she served on the Board of Directors. www.biereleyhale.com.
