Wallace Key Holleman, Sr. age 85 went to be with the Lord on Wednesday evening January 31, 2018. Raised in Mayfield KY, Wallace was a graduate and lifelong fan of Vanderbilt University. He worked 30 years for the Baptist Sunday School Board (Lifeway) and then spent another 20 years in a second career in Insurance for small businesses.
He had many interests, but he always set them aside for his greatest joy, his wife of 49 years, Sara Frances, and his family. Wallace will always be remembered for his gentle spirit and his life of putting others first. He was always present, always supporting, always willing, but always satisfied to be in the background. He led his children to faith and he demonstrated with his entire life the character traits of humility, selflessness, compassion, and devotion to God....i.e. the character traits of Jesus. In addition to being survived by his three children, George, Key, and Allison and their families, he is also survived by his sister, Mary Anna West.
Services Monday, Graveside 1:30pm at Woodlawn Memorial Park 660Thompson Lane. Funeral service 3:30pm at Immanuel Baptist Church 222 Belle Meade Blvd. Visitation following from 4:30 - 6:00pm at Immanuel Baptist Church.
