Margie Lynn Carter Holloway

August 1, 1931 — June 20, 2010

“Who can find a virtuous woman? For her price is far above rubies. The heart of her husband doth safely trust in her, so that he shall have no need of spoil. She riseth also while it is yet night, and giveth meat to her household. She is not afraid of the snow for her household: for all her household are clothed in scarlet. Strength and honor are her clothing: and she shall rejoice in time to come.” These words are taken from Proverbs 31 and describe why Mrs. Margie Holloway so deserves the rest and rejoicing that now greet her.
Funeral Services for Mrs. Margie Lynn Carter Holloway, age 78 of Delhi, LA will be at 10:00 AM Tuesday, June 22, 2010 in the Chapel of Mulhearn Funeral Home of Winnsboro with Rev. Jimmy Harper and Rev. Marion Collier officiating.  Interment will follow in Crowville Masonic Cemetery under the direction of Mulhearn Funeral Home of Winnsboro.
Mrs. Holloway was born Margie Lynn Carter on August 1, 1931, to Alfred and Bessie Tuberville Carter in Point, La. She married her life-long sweetheart, J. W. Holloway on September 24, 1946. Together they worked hard and built their home and a successful farming operation along the banks of the Bayou Macon in the Madison Parish community of Little Fork. The Holloways were blessed with two children, Jimmie Lynn Holloway Franklin and Jeff Holloway. Mrs. Holloway completed her degree in home economics at Northeast Louisiana State College in 1963, teaching at Crowville and Central High Schools.

In her later years, Mrs. Holloway cared for her home and family, particularly devoted to meeting the needs of her son Jeff who was paralyzed in an accident in 1971. The addition of grandchildren and great-grandchildren throughout the years gave her even more souls to nurture and cherish. She passed from this life to her eternal rest on June 20, 2010 after a lengthy illness.
