Rosemary Hollums

Rosemary Hollums was called home to her Lord & Savior on Saturday October  25^th. Rosemary was born on April 21, 1931 to Mary Butler McDonald and William McDonald.   She married the love of her life Jack Hollums on December 24, 1948. They settled in Midland shortly after and raised their 6 children.

Rosemary was the matriarch of the family.  Everyone’s “Port in the Storm”, not only for her children but for Jack especially.  He was the breadwinner, but she kept their home a happy place to be and she did it all with a smile and open arms. She loved having a full house.  When Grandma was cooking, everyone was on their way.  There were hundreds of family meals & gatherings.  So much food and especially desserts, no one ever left hungry.

Jack & Rosemary were active members of Bellview Baptist church for many years until their health no longer allowed them to attend.  They volunteered & served in many capacities serving their Lord and his people and made several lifelong friends there.

Rosemary is survived by her children Janice & Jerry Parker of Tyler,  Patsy & Kerby Gerald of Andrews, Jackie & Ron Brown of Plainville, Connecticut,  Eddy & Shelley Hollums of Midland, Rodney & Patti Hollums of Midland,  Susan & Marty Graham of Stanton, 16 Grandchildren, 27 Great Grandchildren and 9 Great Great Grandchildren.

She was preceded in death by her husband, her parents, 2 brothers & 5 sisters.

The family would like to say a special thank you to Alicia Aranda, Hospice of Midland and Brookdale of Midland for caring for her.

Services under the direction of Nalley, Pickle & Welch will be held at Bellview Baptist Church on Thursday October 30^th at 2pm.

Pallbearers will be Robert Lamberson, Michael Dagenhart, Toby Dagenhart, Ryan Brown, Casey Brown, Justin Hollums, Cody Hollums & Kory Hollums.
