Robert Barham Family Funeral Home is in charge of arrangements. Ann Sanders Holladay, 73, born September 24, 1936, joined her Lord and Savior Sunday, May 16, 2010 at Erlanger Hospital, Chattanooga, TN. Ann loved and treasured her church, St. Paul's Episcopal. She took time for others, visiting the sick, caring for those in need and looking after her family. She enjoyed time with friends and classmates. Most of all she enjoyed her time with her family. She touched so many people and was such a blessing to those who knew her, whether bowling, in church work or cooking. Ann's cheerful attitude always came through. Ann was the main stay for the family. She was past President of the Episcopal Churchwomen of Mississippi, a member of the Executive Committee of the Diocese of Mississippi, past president of the Meridian Junior Auxiliary, a member of St. Paul's Vestry, and a member of several search committees for parish priests. She is survived by her husband of 51 years Eddie Holladay; sons, Clay and Bobby Holladay. Clay and his wife Laura Greer Holladay, gave Ann and Eddie three grandchildren, Bryan (21), Greer (19) and Brooks (17). Bobby and his wife Cynthia gave Ann and Eddie three grandchildren, Hanson (23), Rob (19), and Barbara Ann (16); sisters Norma Sanders Bourdeaux and Sue Sanders Farr. Ann also left a very special friend, Annie Gowdy. She was preceded in death by her parents, Ham and Big Sanders. In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to St. Paul's Episcopal Church, Ann Holladay Memorial. Visitation will be held Wednesday, 9-11 at St. Paul's Episcopal Church.
