Janie Holt Obituary - Visitation & Funeral Information

THE LATE JANIE MAE DOUSE HOLT was born on October 22, 1933 to the parentage of Joe Douse and Janie Mae Douse in Millen, Georgia where she attended grade school through high school. At an early age she contracted Rheumatic fever and was in and out of hospitals continually. The care she received from the nurses inspired her to become a nurse. She met and married the love of her life (Jesse Holt) and to this union five children were born. They lived in Brooklyn, New York and attended and received THE GIFT OF THE HOLY GHOST at Trinity Zion Pentecostal Church under the leadership of the late Pastor John Ross and served as a missionary, program director, and street outreach min- istry. Mother Holt (along with Elder Holt) joined Healing Temple Pentecostal Church where she served as a Church Mother, Mis- sionary, Fifth Sunday Reunion Coordinator and later was given the title of National Mother. Mother Holt (as she so affectionally known) worked at Boca Ra- ton Community Hospital after obtaining her LPN license. As a wife and a mother of five, at the age of 45, she decided to continue her nursing career and attended Broward Community College and graduated with an Associate in Science in Nursing Degree (RN). Although Mother Holt received numerous Administrative Com- mendations, Recommendations, and Accolades the most important and rewarding part of her life was living for Jesus and Spreading the Gospel in all that she said and did.
