Wanda Jean Holden

She was 87 yrs. old. She was the bride of Arlie Van Holden for 71 yrs., 3 months and 1 week. She was his constant companion in their journey through life that was really a story book, too lengthy to list here. During her life with Arlie Van (AV Holden) she gave birth to two sons, Weldon Holden and Arlen Dale Holden. She was preceded in death by her father Johnny W. Brown, her mother Johnnie Lee Brown, her brothers William Brown and Loyd Brown, and sister Lena Laughlin.

Wanda is survived by her husband AV Holden, son Weldon Holden and wife Trudy, and son Dale Holden, sister Mary Doherty, grandsons David (Rachel) Holden and Clint (Kristin) Holden, and granddaughter Michele Denson. Great grandchildren are Ashley Holden, Kelly Holden, Emily Holden, Luke Holden, Kaylie Holden and Hadley Holden. Also, numerous nieces and nephews from coast to coast.

She was a devoted woman of God, longing to see all, especially her family come to the saving knowledge and faith in Jesus Christ. She loved the words of truth from the scriptures such as John 14:6 when Jesus said, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one can come to the Father except through Me”. She believed it and lived it. She will be missed by so many because of the lives she touched. She was not only a member but an active torch at Georgetown Church of the Nazarene in Georgetown, Texas.

A Visitation with the family will be held at The Gabriels Funeral Chapel on Thursday, January 16, 2020 from 6-8 pm. 

A Funeral Service will take place the following afternoon at Georgetown Church of the Nazarene, 4051 E. University Ave, at 2 pm, with the burial to immediately follow at IOOF Cemetery. 

In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations to be made to Georgetown Church of the Nazarene or The Salvation Army.
