Judy L. Holliman

Judy L. Holliman, beloved mother, daughter, sister, grandmother, and great grandmother passed away peacefully at home in the comforting presence of her family on August 14, 2026. Born on June 28, 1958, in Memphis, Tennessee, Judy’s life was marked by devotion to her loved ones, a generous spirit, and a passion for flowers that brought color and beauty to every space she graced.

Judy dedicated her professional life to her love of flowers, working as a skilled florist at both A-Z Florist and Busy Bee Flowers & Gifts. Her artistry provided comfort and joy to countless people throughout the years, a testament to her gentle touch and creative heart. Colleagues and clients alike were touched by her creativity and the warmth she brought into her work environment.

At home, Judy was best known as “nanny,” a cherished and ever-present figure in the lives of her children and grandchildren. Her greatest joy was found in time spent with her family, where her laughter, kindness, and unwavering support formed the heart of countless memories. No gathering was too small nor event too ordinary to be filled with Judy’s love and the presence of those she held dear.

Judy’s faith was an important cornerstone of her life. As a dedicated member of Colonial Hills Church of God, she forged meaningful connections within her church community and drew strength from her beliefs. The friendships and fellowship she cultivated within the church enriched her life and offered her great comfort and fulfillment.

She is survived by her children: Troy Sherer (Erica), Jimmy Manuel (Rachel), Samantha Coker (Wesley), and Brittany Magan (Markus), all of whom will carry forward her legacy of love, warmth, and compassion. Judy is also deeply mourned by her mother, Jinnie Bernard; her brothers, Marty Agee, David Rines (Lorie), Charles Rines (Kathy), Ricky Rines, Darrell Rines (Lisa), and Jimmy Rines; and her sister, Sheila Van Meter (Ray), as well as (15) grandchildren; Christopher, Michael, Shelbee, Madyson, Addyson, Hadyson, Tyler, Ava, Ian, Carson, Jasper, Addilynn, Noah, Cheyanne, and Gunner and (1) great grandson, Everett. Each of them bears fond memories of her kindness, her humor, and her endless capacity for love.

Judy is preceded in death by her father, Gene Rines.

Her memory will endure through the beauty she created, the family she nurtured, and the community she uplifted with her spirit.
