Suellen Douglas

Suellen is survived by her son, David Holeman (Kim); grandchildren, Abby Ousley (Cole), Cameron Holeman, Chelsea McGahee (Daniel Pendergraft), Lydia McGahee-Payne (Todd), and Shannon McGahee (Adam Blythe); and great-grandchildren, Alayna Hall, Summer Pendergraft, Julia Blythe, and Nora Blythe.

A memorial service will be held at 1:00 p.m. Sunday, September 20, 2026, at Mt. Zion Baptist Church in Kuttawa, with Pastor Baxter Boyd officiating.
