Marvins in Urbana, then The Empire Restaurant (Traditions) in Urbana. She was an 80 year member of the Urbana Church of the Nazarene, where she spent many years looking after the babies and toddlers in the church nursery.  This gave her such joy.  She is survived by a number of nieces and nephews- along with 3 more generations of nieces and nephews.  She was a second mother to nephews, Chuck Jones, Scott Jones and niece, Shelley (Jones) Musser.  Preceded in death are her parents, brothers, Wallace, Beryl, Hershel, and Fred; sisters, Mildred, Ruth, Donna and Marlene.  Also preceding her was her great niece Amber Lee, with whom she had a very close relationship.  A graveside service will be held on Saturday, September 25, 2021 at Kingscreek Cemetery beginning at 2:00 p.m. Thank you Holney for touching our lives and loving us unconditionally.  Funeral arrangements entrusted to Walter & Lewis Funeral Home.
