Mrs. Florence Holdren, age 96, of Elizabethton, TN left this world for her Heavenly Home on Saturday, April 8, 2017 from the Johnson City Medical Center following a brief illness. A native of Carter County, she was the daughter of the late Samuel and Alice Blevins Daniels. Mrs. Holdren retired from the Carter County School System as a Cafeteria Manager. She was a member of Borderview Christian Church. She enjoyed gardening, her flowers and spending time with her grandchildren. She also enjoyed riding the golf cart around her neighborhood and visiting with her neighbors. Florence proudly still possessed her driver’s license which would not have expired until her 100th birthday much to the chagrin of her children.

In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her husband, Rinard Holden; a sister, Anna Mae Daniels and a brother, Howard Daniels. Those left to cherish her memory include two sons, Lynn Holdren, Elizabethton and Jim Holdren, Bowling Green, KY; a daughter and son-in-law, Susan and Jeff McNabb, Jonesborough; two granddaughters, Maia Estes and husband Matt, Knoxville and Alyssa Petrey and husband Jason, Richmond, KY; special friends, Terry Oliver and Suzie Warren and three nieces, Helen Sewell, Sue Prater and Linda Hawthorne.
