Nancy J. Holifield

February 21, 1936 - March 10, 2021

Nancy J. Holifield passed from her earthly home in the Indian Springs Community on March 10, 2021, at age 85. She was formerly an active member at Indian Springs Baptist Church from her youth. She was an encourager, not to just “do the best you can”, but to “do better and move forward”. She taught first grade at Ellisville Elementary and was active in the Mississippi Teachers Organization. She was preceded in death by husband Don Holifield, parents Edward and Lottie Joplin, and all of her brothers and sisters. Survivors include daughter Kaye Anderson (Allen), son Greg Holifield (Carolyn), grandchildren Sunshine Delgado (James), Odie Kidwell (Brandi), Stephan Holifield, Bradley Anderson (Sabrina) and Wesley Anderson, and sister-in-law Francis Joplin. Extra special people at the end of her time, Kim Dunston, Christy Squires and Daron Long, gave unconditional love and care to Ms. Nancy, as well as our family. Thank you, ladies. Visitation will be held Friday, March 12, 2021 from 5 until 7 p.m. at Memory Chapel Funeral Home. Services will be held at Memory Chapel Funeral Home on Saturday, at 2 p.m. with interment to follow at Indian Springs Cemetery. Dr. Richard Clark will officiate.
