Lela Mae Holden

Lela Mae Holden, 86, of Malvern, went to be with her sweet Savior on Monday, August 18, 2014. She was born on Monday, October 10, 1927 in Judsonia, Arkansas to the late Charley and Pearl Williams Teague. She was a member of Oak Grove Missionary Baptist Church where she had served her Lord in teaching Sunday School, Bible School and loved singing in the choir. She was a homemaker and so much more. She never met a stranger and her love of others was evident in her family, church and community. In her journal writing she left us these words, "You never lose anything by giving to others. Remember that as you go through life." Mrs Holden is survived by her devoted children, Linda Kuhnert (Dale) of Hot Springs, Kathy McNabb of Benton, Rhonda Thomas (James) of Paragould, Kim Holden of Malvern, Tim Holden (Tina) of Malvern and son-in-law, Ron Daniell of Arkadelphia. These ten grandchildren cherish her memory: Mike Nofsinger, Ricky Kuhnert, Brian McNabb, Leslie Holloway, Bart Daniell, Jamie McClelland, Matthew Thomas, Nathan, Seth and Shane Holden. She adored her great-grandchildren: Hannah Holloway, Rebecca Kuhnert, Randa Perry, Aynslee McNabb and Wyatt McClelland. She is also survived by one sister, Verbenia Skinner. Mrs Holden was preceded in death by her parents; her husband of 69 years, H.N. Holden; children, Robbie Holden and Pat Daniell; and siblings, Elsie Teague, Ina Teague, Myrtle Reed, Stella Dorman, Opal Geer, Hazel Crossno and Raymond Teague. Services honoring her life will be held on Friday, August 22, 2014 at 1 p.m., in the chapel of Roller-Daniel Funeral Home of Searcy (501)268-3546 with Brother Aaron Holt officiating. Visitation is scheduled to begin at 12 noon. Interment will follow in the Evergreen Cemetery in Judsonia. The family is grateful to Hospice of Central Arkansas-Hot Springs for the wonderful care they have provided during these years. Online guestbook: www.rollerfuneralhomes.com.
