Doris Reed Holloway

Mrs. Doris Reed Holloway, loving wife of the late Ellis Watson Holloway, entered into the presence of her Savior on Sunday, January 22, 2012, at the home of her daughter in Augusta with her family at her bedside. Mrs. Holloway was born on January 20, 1925 in Lincolnton, Ga. to the late Luther and Lettie Reed. She was a faithful member of Pine Grove United Methodist Church. After retirement as a seamstress, Mrs. Holloway began a new career- baking the best cakes this side of Heaven.

Her survivors include son and daughter-in-law, Tommy and Jean Holloway of Augusta; daughter and son-in-law, Joan and Buddy Gardner of Augusta; brother and sister-in-law, Olin and Beth Reed of Lincolnton, sister-in-law, Mamie Neal Reed of Lincolnton; grandchildren- Wes Gardner and wife, Lynn, Appling; Eva Gardner, Augusta; Dori Gardner, New York City; Fran Cooper and husband, Jason, Birmingham; great- grandchildren- Thomas, Ben and Karis Gardner, Appling; Hannah and Ellis Cooper, Birmingham; as well as many nieces and nephews.
