J.B. Hollis, 82, of Talala passed away peacefully at home on December 20, 2016 following a brief terminal illness. He was the beloved husband of nearly 60 years to his much adored wife who survives him, Mary Hollis.
J.B. was deeply admired by his children, Jo Ellen Hollis, Debbie Buckner, and Randy Hollis, who survive him. He especially loved watching his grandson, Lee Hollis, play sports and taking his granddaughter, Brooke Ciarletti, on trips to the Golden Arches. J.B. was also blessed with a great-granddaughter, Sveva Ciarletti. In addition to his grandchildren and great-granddaughter, J.B. is survived by his sister Sylma and brother Roy.
He was preceded in death by his parents, his brother Eugene, and his grandchild Megan Hollis.
He will be
remembered for saying things like, “I’ve had a worse cut on my
lip and never stopped whistling,” as well as his love for the
country way of life. He leaves a legacy of hard work and
storytelling, Bible studying and loving his family with a
courageous and generous heart.
The family will hold a memorial service celebrating his
life on January 6, 2017 at 10:30 a.m. at the Collinsville
Freewill Baptist Church with Pastor Ron Hardage officiating.
Interment will follow at Ridgelawn Cemetery in Collinsville.
