Joseph Cohren Holley - Madison Parish, Louisiana

From The Dallas Morning News August 4, 2011

Holley, Joseph Cohren, on July 31, 2011, one week after celebrating his 83rd birthday, Joe was called to his heavenly home. Joe was blessed with many passions that he was able to enjoy throughout his life. He learned to fly at the age of 14 and served as a B-24 Navigator in the Korean War. Following the war, he received his Masters at LSU and enjoyed a career spanning 40 years as an entomologist in the agriculture business in the Rio Grande Valley. After retirement he settled in the quaint, quiet town of Glen Rose, TX. Joe was an avid outdoorsman; hunting and fishing were his major passions.

He is survived by his loving wife: Jimmie Lou Holley, two sons: John Holley and wife Mary Catherine of Cherokee, TX; Joseph "Ace Holley, Jr. and wife Laurie of Houston; Sallie Anderson and husband Gary of Carrollton; Susan Gregory of Dallas, and Cynthia Jones and husband, James D. of Corpus Christi, TX.; 9 grandchildren and 5 great grandchildren; brother, Hugh Holley of Tallulah, LA.

We know you are at peace now, free of pain and suffering. Thanks for all that you did for us. Geaux Tigers! A memorial service will be held at 2:00 pm, Saturday, August 6, 2011 at the chapel, Sparkman Hillcrest. The family requests that donations be made to the charity of your choice.
