Ms. Holland, Mamaw to us, taught school here in Lenoir City for many, many years. There's no telling how many local kids went through her Home Economics classes. As a mother-in-law, Ms. Holland was wonderful and for my part, I can say that she was the most Godley person I ever knew.

Certainly, we're all sad at her passing but just knowing she's in a much better place now, gives all the family peace. The family would like to thank all those who have reached out to comfort them.

Sudie “Elizabeth” Hardin Holland, age 90, of Lenoir City passed away Saturday morning, March 24th, at River Oaks Memory Unit in Lenoir City.

Elizabeth taught Home Economics in Vonore, Summertown, and many years at Lenoir City High School. She was a lifelong member of First Baptist Church in Lenoir City where she led many prayer groups and taught the New Members class for many years. She loved her church and church family. Her favorite hobby was quilting.
