Mrs. Holwick loved serving at church in the children’s ministry where she taught Sunday School and VBS for many years. She was affectionately known as “Nanny” by her grandchildren and great-grandchildren and was proud to teach each of her grandchildren to drive in “the pasture”. A tradition dear to her heart was her weekly breakfast dates with her siblings at Pearly’s on Tuesdays and Fridays which was carried on for many years. Mrs. Holwick was a talented seamstress and a faithful member of Springhill Freewill Baptist Church and would visit The Church at The Groves with her family in recent years. A Godly mother and example to all, she loved Jesus and her family more than anything. A beloved mother, grandmother, sister, and friend, she will be greatly missed by all. She was preceded in death by her husband, Conrad Holwick Jr.; two sons, Mike Holwick and Major Wayne Holwick; brother, James Silvers; and baby sister, Hazel Silvers. Those left to cherish her memory include her daughter, Rosa Ramsey (Michael) of Lee County; daughters-in-law, Jenny Holwick of Lee County, and Jeri Holwick of Newnan; two sisters, Mary Etheredge (Glen) of Albany, and Susan Bateham (Joseph) of Sylvester; grandchildren, Becky Jones (Matt), Katie Bass (Brian), John Holwick (April), Kayla Holwick, Josh Holwick, and McKenna Holwick; great-grandchildren, Ansley, Joseph, Andrew, Alex, Anthony, Sam, and Ellie; and a host of nieces, nephews, cousins, and extended family.
