Obituary of Lora Hollar

Lora Greene Hollar passed away Tuesday, December 15, 2020 at the age of 95 at Deerfield Ridge Assisted Living Center. Lora was born March 15, 1925 in Sugar Grove, North Carolina to Dillard and Pearl Greene. She grew up in the Phillips Branch community with her 11 brothers and sisters working on the family farm. Marriage took her to Greensboro where she and Clay lived and she worked as a medical assistant. After 40 years away the mountains called them back home. Along with all of her hobbies and projects, Lora found time to work downtown at Dancey's Shoe Store where she loved visiting with customers and helping find the perfect fit. She was a feisty, independent lady that lived to serve Christ and others. Her love for her Savior was very evident through her actions and conversations. One way that she put her faith into action was being a founding member of Reba's Women's Missionary Society at Brushy Fork Baptist Church, where she was a member. This amazing group of women works tirelessly on local mission projects. As a dedicated servant, Lora has requested that instead of flowers people donate to this group since she enjoyed her flowers while she was still here. Lora did not have children of her own but she spread her love to all those around her. Some of us were lucky enough to call her Nana. Those left to cherish her memory include her niece Lennis Moody and husband Carl of Vilas along with their daughter Carla Greene and husband Wendell and children Alex, Eli and Seth of Zionville and son Baxter Moody of Raleigh; her nephew Baxter Greene and wife Kathy, their daughters Melissa Patton and husband Randy, Pam Clark and husband Terry, Tam Younce, and son Kevin Greene and wife Erica all of Granite Falls. She is also survived by her sister Belva McCuiston of High Point and brother Howard Greene and wife Pat of Greensboro along with many other nieces and nephews. She was preceded in death by her parents Dillard and Pearl Greene, husband Clay Hollar, brothers Clyde, Fred, Roby, Floyd and Frank Greene and sisters Mamie Vines, Texie Glenn, Loy Edmisten and Ruth Swift. Our family would like to thank all of Lora's caregivers that worked with her at home, Appalachian Brian Estates, Deerfield Ridge Horizons Memory Care Unit and Medi Home Hospice during her battle with dementia. Graveside services will be conducted Saturday, December 19, 2020 at 1 o'clock at Mt. Lawn Memorial Park & Gardens. Officiating will be Rev. Eric Cornett.
