Garner – Doris Moore Holland, 94, passed away Monday. She was a devoted wife, mother and grandmother who will be missed dearly. She went peacefully to be with the Lord, with her son by her side. Doris was born in Pender County in 1927 and grew up with very limited means during the Depression.

Doris enjoyed gardening, housekeeping, cooking and spending time with her family, friends and her beloved church family. She enjoyed many years of vacuuming and keeping her house spotless all the way to the end. Graveside service will be 10:30 AM Friday at Montlawn Memorial Park, Raleigh. Doris is survived by her sister, Betty Jolly of Charlotte; son, Greg Holland (Susan) of Benson; grandson, Dalton and several loving nieces, nephews and many close friends.
