Death of Norma Holladay
From Jason Musgrove, pastor, Chattanooga, TN (United Church of God)

With heavy hearts, we announce that Norma Violet Holladay died peacefully on August 4 at the age of 84.

She was a devoted wife to her husband, Roy, for 63 years and a treasured mother to their five sons. Everyone who knew her will remember her sweet and gentle spirit, her kindness and the way she made others feel welcomed and cared for. She had a special gift for showing love and compassion to everyone she met and spent countless hours writing thousands of cards to people around the world. Roy often said that when they married, he did not have those same qualities, but thankfully, at least some of them rubbed off on him.

While our hearts are broken, we find comfort in knowing that she lived a full and blessed life and passed peacefully with her family around her. We are deeply grateful for the many years, memories and blessings we shared with her. We also take great comfort in God's plan and in the sure hope that we will see her again.

Thank you for all the prayers and love extended to us during this time. Please continue to keep our family, and especially, Roy, in your thoughts and prayers as we mourn the loss of an extraordinary wife, mother, grandmother and friend.

With love,

The Holladay family
