Reverend Dr. J. R. Hatney - Officiating -
"And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow; nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain; for the form er things are passed away." - Revelation 21:4
Mrs. Margaret Clara Holmes was born on May 23, 1945 to the late Mr. Alfreddie Golphin and Mrs. Catherine Sullivan Golphin. She was the oldest of six children.
At an early age she accepted Jesus Christ as her Savior, and was baptized at Second Shiloh Baptist Church. Margaret later united with Good Hope Missionary Baptist Church.
She was educated in the Richmond County School System. Margaret retired from President Bakery after twenty-seven years of dedicated service. Margaret made a difference in everyone she met. She was the tall tower that stood before her children and grandchildren.
One daughter, Catherine Martez Boles preceded her in death.
She leaves to cherish and continue her legacy: her husband, Mr. Johnny Holmes of Hephzibah, Georgia; a devoted and loving daughter, Ms. Sabrina Renee Williams (Michael); two stepchildren, Francine Holmes and Ramon Holmes; two grandchildren, Carlos Boles (Tina) and Natasha Williams; three great grandchildren, Ray'Quon, Cor'monie and Z'merr; four sisters, Doris Sullivan, Alma Johnson (Williams) and Diane Barnes, Roberta Golphin; one brother, Joe Riley (Patricia); and a host of aunts, nephews, nieces, cousins and friends

Deacons o f Good HL ope Baptist Church
Don't grieve for me, for now I'm free. I'm following the path God laid for me. I took His hand when I heard him call; I turned my back and left it all. I could not stay another day, to laugh, to love, to work or play. Tasks left undone must stay that way; I found that place at the close o f day. I f my parting has left a void, then fill it with remembered joy. A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss; oh yes, these things, I too will miss. Be not burdened with times o f sorrow. I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow. My life's been full, I savored much; good friends, good times, a loved ones touch. Perhaps my time seems all to brief; don't lengthen it now with undue grief. Lift up your heart and share with me, God wanted me now, He set me free.
Because you cared, you came to share, beautiful flowers and words of encouragement. Because you cared enough your cards came too. Because you cared, we were never alone, you called, you visited and you came to our home. Because you cared we are so very grateful for the comfort you brought. Because you cared we are praying for you too; for God's richest blessings for every one o f you. We thank you, we need you, and we love you! - T he Family of Margaret C lara H olmes
