Barbara S. Holland, 75, went home to be with her Lord on September 14, 2019.
She was born in Cape Girardeau, Missouri on November 14, 1943. Barb graduated from Monroe High School of Michigan.
She lovingly looked back on her childhood as a PK with her twin sisters; Sandy and Sharon.
She held many positions over the years with a few favorites being church secretary at Hope Lutheran Church, transcriptionist at Allied Health, and a retiree of Allstate Insurance Co. after more than 10 years of service.
She loved serving others by volunteering her time at Camp Tuscazoar, Lutheran Church Camps in Michigan, LWML Michigan District, Helping Hands, and simply being a guide and mentor to many; touching so many lives with her love. Above all, she was most proud of her two sons, whom she loved with all of her heart.
Barb was preceded in death by her husband of 47 years; David Holland; her father and mother, The Reverend Alfred and Frieda Freund; sister, Sharon Shaw; and daughter-in-law Luzia.
She will be deeply missed by her sons, Scott and Theodore "Ted" (Melody) Holland; sister Sandy (Keith) Dixon; grandchildren, John (Shawnda) Holland, Matthew Holland, Elizabeth Holland, Emily Holland, Samuel Holland, Catelyn (Andrew) Wienclaw, Abbi (Denon) Henry and Hannah Dobson; niece, Jeri Holland; nephews, J.R.
