Mrs. Holt was a loving wife, mother, and grandmother. She enjoyed spending time and caring for her family. Mrs. Holt had an amazing sense of humor and quick wit, known by her family as “Jeanisms”. She was a phenomenal cook; she could take very little and create a meal to feed many. Mrs. Holt would always send off her family with a “love wave” from her front porch whenever they would leave. She loved children. She taught each child that came into her home how to play Twinkle Twinkle Little Star on the piano. She had the gift of hospitality and a servant’s heart. Mrs. Holt was extremely organized and detailed oriented. In her spare time she enjoyed reading and completing crossword puzzles. Her presence will be missed by all who had the pleasure of knowing her.
Special thanks to Kindred Hospice and staff for their kindness and compassion in caring for mother during the difficult time. Also the family would like to thank Linda Smith and Dorothy Minor, mothers caregivers, for their love and care.
Serving as pallbearers will be David Holt, Alan Holt, Nathan Holt, Jason Holt, Wade Wimberly, and Steve Robinson.
