Catherine Elizabeth Gibson - April 15, 1937 - April 03, 2024

Departed: 04/03/2024 (Rome)

Obituary Preview: Ms. Catherine Elizabeth Gibson so gracefully and peacefully transitioned from this world to her eternal place in glory on Wednesday, April 3, 2024. Lizzie, known by most, was born April 15, 1937. As earthly plans were being made to celebrate her 87th birthday in a couple of days, heavenly plans were being made to invite her to her eternal celebration in Glory.

Ms. Gibson was born and raised in Floyd County. As a young adult, Ms. Gibson left Rome but returned in later years. Catherine joined and quickly became a devoted member of Pleasant Grove Baptist Church. While at Pleasant Grove, she served effortlessly to help build God's kingdom through the various ministries within the church. She spent her professional career in school nutrition where she retired from the Rome City Schools System.

Lizzie, known by most was soft spoken but could be a quiet storm if she needed to be. She found her most joy in serving others. Sunday dinners after church were truly her SOUL's FOOD. She will be remembered mostly for her support and dedication to those she loved. Her loyalty went beyond measure. She loved her family and friends dearly. Her desire to hug and kiss upon greetings and departure was her signature of how much she loved you. Because she was very private by nature, she epitomized "take it to the lord in prayer". She was not one to share or give her opinion unless asked. She solved her problems with what she called " A Little Talk With JC". Her level of faith was relentless and served as spiritual confirmation for those that knew her.

The family of Ms. Catherine Elizabeth Gibson would like to thank those of you that visited and made her new residence at the local nursing facility a new adventure. No formal service or ceremony will be conducted.

Immediately after internment the family welcomes friends for repast at Sandra D. Hudson Villas Community Room, 601 Michael Taylor Ln.

On March 29, 2024, our sweet princess and angel, Ahnyla Nicole Davis, peacefully transitioned into the arms of our Heavenly Father. We had the pleasure of being honored with her beautiful presence for ten miraculous days that we would not trade for anything in this world.

The number "10" is a number of trial, testing, divine order, and completeness that happens during a course of time. God had these number of days timed according to His will. He knew that this would be a trying and testing time for us. He knew that, in His Divine Order, Ahnyla was in His good hands. He also knew that during the course of time we had with her, the completeness of His will, not ours, would be done. Ahnyla was a fighter! She came out crying and swinging. She fought through her struggle of breathing. She fought through the tubes. She fought through the needles, and she even fought, the nurse practioner, "Jesse." She would squeeze our fingers to let us know she is fighting. After all is said and done, one thing is for sure--it was a "FIXED" fight! Our "Nyla Bug" had already conquered and won!

She leaves this earth to join the heavenly circle of her paternal grandparent: Leon Staples; great-grandparents: Amos Davis and Judy Stewart; maternal great-grandparents: Geraldine Riley, Martha Joe Beeman, and Mack Beeman, Sr. She is survived by her loving parents: David Davis and Kelsey Beeman; siblings: Dai'nesti Davis; grandparents: Rickey (Elaina) Beeman and Anita Davis; great-grandparents: Louise Davis and James Riley; aunts & uncles: Rachael Beeman, Malik Gleaves, Anna Leek, Tonesa (Joel) Moore, Teresa (Joshua Sr.) Hayes, Daylan Davis, Anthony Roberts, Dana Taylor; special sister/friend: Jie

Homes and Megan Kent; and other relatives and friends also survive. Please keep the Beeman and Davis family in your prayers

Donell (Don) Holiday was born on November 30, 1960 to Reverend James Moses Holiday, Sr. and Minnie Marzel Holiday. He departed this earthly life on March 08, 2024.

Donell accepted Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior as a young child and became a member of Flat Rock Baptist Church in Rome, Georgia. He was active in several church activities throughout his formative years. Years later, he recommitted his faith in Christ and joined Antioch Baptist Church, Atlanta Georgia.

He attended East Rome and Main Elementary Schools, East Rome Junior High School, and graduated from East Rome High School in 1978. Donell was heavily involved in sports and excelled in baseball, basketball, football, and track during his junior high and high school years. After graduating from high school, he enrolled in Shorter College (now Shorter University) in Rome, Georgia, where he completed his Associate Degree. Also, while attending school, he worked at Georgia Power’s Plant Hammond.

In 1980, Donell joined the United States Air Force and was stationed at Luke Air Force Base, Arizona. While in the Air Force, he continued taking college courses towards his bachelor’s degree. After serving four years in the Air Force and receiving an honorable discharge, he moved to Augusta, Georgia, where he rejoined Georgia Power, this time at nearby Plant Vogtle. During this period, he also completed a Bachelor of Science Degree in Computer Science from Payne College in Augusta.

In 1990, Donell moved to Atlanta after accepting a position with Georgia Power’s corporate office as an IT Specialist/Analyst. While employed there full time, he also attended Atlanta Law School on nights and weekends, earning his law degree in May 1993. Donell eventually left Georgia Power and practiced law for the rest of his earthly life as Donell Holiday, Attorney at Law. He had a strong calling on his life to serve people in this capacity. In the course of time, he met the love of his life, Erica Faye Baham, in early 2017 and they were united in marriage in April 2021.

Donell was a loving and devoted son and older brother to his parents and siblings. He was also a loving, devoted husband, father, grandfather, uncle, son-in law and brother-in-law, respectively, to his beautiful wife (Erica), daughter (Shekila), grandsons, nieces, nephews, and extended family. He leaves a strong, lasting legacy of faith, love, commitment, devotion, dedication, and service to our Lord, family, and friends, as well as to the entire community as an attorney. He immensely loved and cherished his life with Erica. He also enjoyed playing golf and attending family vacations and gatherings with loved-ones over the Holidays and throughout the year.

Donell was preceded in death by his paternal grandparents: Arthur Sr. and Emma Holiday, maternal grandparents: Oliver Sr. and Mozell Montgomery, and father: Reverend James Moses Holiday, Sr.

Donell is survived by his loving, devoted wife: Erica Faye Baham Holiday of Atlanta, Ga.; his loving, devoted daughter: Shekila (Trevor) Burge of Austell, Ga.; four grandsons: Marsean Hamilton, Gabriel Archie, Trevor “TJ” Burge, Jr., and Takai Burge, all of Austell, Ga.; mother: Minnie Marzel Holiday of Rome Ga.; aunt: Darlene Baker Jenkins of Atlanta, Ga.; sister: Gelaine Holiday Howard of Atlanta, Ga.; brothers: Hershel Louis (Sonova) Holiday of South Riding, Virginia and James “Chip” Moses Holiday, Jr., of Rome, Ga.; and a host of nieces, nephews, cousins, extended family, and loved ones.

Billy Powell - November 19, 1949 - February 28, 2024

Departed: 02/28/2024 (Rome)

Obituary Preview: We respectfully announce the passing of Mr. Billie Powell, age 74, of Piedmont, Alabama on Wednesday, February 28, 2024 at a local hospital following a brief illness. Service will be Tuesday, March 12, 2024, Thankful Baptist Church 308 N Church St. Piedmont, AL, 36272 at 1:00 p.m. The body will lie instate from 11:00am (CST) until service hour.

Interment will follow in the Piedmont Memory Gardens Piedmont 300 Virgo Rd Piedmont, AL 36272.

Mr. Billy P. Powell was born November 19, 1949 through the union of Mr. Laylus Powell and Mrs. Josephine Brown.

He accepted Christ at an early age and joined Thankful Baptist Church. He was educated at Bethune High School, graduating in 1967. He was called to service in the United States Army, 25th Infantry Division, in August 1969. He served in the Army for two years, including combat duty in Viet Nam where he was wounded. He was honorably released from the Army in April 1971, at which point he returned home to Piedmont Alabama. He attended Gadsden State University earning certification in Automotive Technology and Woodworking. During this time he also worked at several companies, including Auto Zone and Garcy. He also offered automobile repair services through his own business. His military injuries and other health issues caused him to retire from work in 2010. A totally unexpected turn of events occurred in December 2013 when he reconnected with the love of his life, Nancy Wright. From the moment of first contact, it felt like we had never parted from forty years earlier when we dated and he took Nancy to her high school prom. We both agreed that it was a setup. God set us up, maybe from birth, to be joined together at the appropriate time. Our hearts were made whole on day one and we married in November 2019. While we had a short time together, we loved each other enough for a lifetime.

He leaves to morn his wife Nancy Wright, sisters, Shelby (Brad) Power, Dorothy (Tyrone) Ware, Eloise Brown, Pauline Jenkins; brothers, Albert Lee (Judy) Powell, Gaston Powell, and Joe Paul Brown. Preceding him in death was his sister Mary Agnes Palmore. A host of nieces, nephews, cousins and other surviving relatives.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is an obituary?

Why are obituaries important?

Obituaries are important because they provide a way to honor and remember the deceased, while also informing others of their passing. They can also serve as a historical record of a person's life and legacy.

Who typically writes an obituary?

In most cases, the family of the deceased or a close friend writes the obituary. Funeral homes or crematories may also offer assistance in writing and publishing obituaries.

What information should be included in an obituary?
