​Deacon Roy Holt, Sr., age 102, passed January 26, 2020.

Roy Holt Sr., was born March 15, 1917 in Tazewell, Marion County, Georgia to the late Obie Holt and Dove Smith Holt. He was preceded in death by two daughters, Helen Holt and Betty Holt, and nine siblings, Bishop Murry Holt, Willie Clemon Holt, Eugene Holt, Cecil Holt, Robert Holt Sr., Annie Bell Holt, Rose Ella Holt and Mary Lee Holt Gibson.

Roy was joined in holy matrimony on December 27, 1945 to Mary Jane Parker Holt and to this union; they were blessed with five children.
