Frances Hollie

May 31, 1938 — January 10, 2020

Frances Hollie was born May 31, 1938 in Wayne County, TN the daughter of the late Nathan (Nath) Allen and Laura Virgiline Adkins Tatum.

She was united in marriage to Charles Marvin Hollie on July 16, 1960. Mr. Hollie preceded her in death on January 5, 1999, following 38 years of marriage.

Mrs. Hollie graduated from Wayne County High School and earned a secretarial certificate from Freed-Hardeman College; her first job was with the Wayne County Welfare Department. Along with her husband, Mrs. Hollie owned and operated Hollie's Grocery in Ramer for 20 years. She also worked for Sawmill Furniture, producing baskets for approximately 10 years. Before retiring she worked as a waitress for Ramer Station Restaurant and also helped at the Ramer Water Department two days every week. She could outwork almost anyone and didn't need a title to keep everything running smoothly. Cooking and crafting were two of Mrs. Hollie's favorite pastimes; she was known to many as "the pie lady" for her delicious home made pies. She had a warm smile and a positive attitude that won her the affection and admiration of everyone she met. Mrs. Hollie was a faithful member of the Antioch church of Christ, using her talents to reflect the light and love of Christ to everyone.
