She did most of her growing up in Memphis, Tenn., where she met and married the father of her three daughters. During that time, she was very actively involved with the Medical Auxiliary and various charitable groups like The King’s Daughters. Eventually, she moved to Hot Springs Village, Ark., to be near her parents. She worked in the hospitality sector managing the Community Center of the Village at Hot Springs. Her many friends described her as creative, vivacious, personable and caring. In 2020, she moved to Alpharetta, Ga., to live with her youngest daughter, where she and her husband cared for her as her health began to fail.
After a brief hospitalization, she lost her battle with cancer and went to be with
Our Lord on Feb. 22, 2022. She was preceded in death by her parents and a daughter, Pamela Pedigo Hollis.
