She loved the Lord and her family with all her heart. She loved to read and study the Bible and was quite the prayer warrior. A real woman of faith. She was never shy to stop and pray with someone, whether a friend or stranger. She had a true servant’s heart, from random, spontaneous acts of kindness to intentional gestures.

She enjoyed nothing more than spending time with her family. She loved her siblings and valued their time together. She never hesitated to let her friends and family know that she loved them. Her grandchildren and great grandchildren were the “delight of her heart.”

She is preceded in death by her beloved son, Joseph “Joey”; her parents; sisters, Ethel Tate and Libby Liner; and brother, Robert Thomas.

She is survived by her husband of 66 years, Elwyn “Hobo” Holloway; daughter, Alison Taylor and husband Jeff; granddaughters, Beth Haddad and her husband, Alex; Blair Jackson and her husband, Ryan; four great grandchildren, Noah, Ada, Wade, and Annelise; two sisters, Doris Winn and Sarah Thomas; brother, Billy Thomas; and numerous nieces and nephews.

For those who knew her best, they know she is in Heaven with Jesus and Joey… and eating Blue Bell ice cream.
