Mr. Holden, 91, of McNary, entered eternal rest on Thursday, January 28, 2026, in his residence surrounded by his loving family.
He was a loving husband, father, and grandfather. His family was one of the founding families of the First United Pentecostal Church of Glenmora, where he served for many years as a dedicated Sunday School teacher and provided a peaceful Christian home for his family. Aubrey served his country honorably as a proud member of the United States Army. He was an electrician by trade, but a jack of all trades. He enjoyed making music, flowers, and gardening, and he loved babies. He possessed an inventive mind and a quiet wisdom. He lived with no fanfare and carried a sly, quiet sense of humor. In his own words, “I am not much of a talker.” He will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved him.
His was preceded in death by his loving wife of sixty-seven years, Marjorie Holden; his parents, Hiram and Eva Holden; three brothers, E.J. Holden, Wilbur Holden, and Douglas Holden; and two sisters, Shirley Chamberlain and Hattie Jean Yoder.
Those left to mourn his loss and cherish his memory include three sons, James Gregory Holden (Tammy) of Glenmora, Rick Holden (Karen) of Purvis, Mississippi, and Brian Holden (Annette) of Lafayette; one brother, Arthur Holden (Doris) of Glenmora; two sisters, Betty Hampton (Sam) of Pasadena, Texas, and Rhonda Sartin (Ricky) of Breaux Bridge; eight grandchildren; nineteen great grandchildren; and eleven great-great grandchildren.
A time of visitation will be held at First United Pentecostal Church, Glenmora on Friday, January 30, 2026, from 5:00 p.m. until 9:00 p.m. Visitation will resume at the church on Saturday January 31, 2026, at 12:00 noon until time of services.
