A Short Biography in Loving Memory of:

Vera Mae Holloway – Tiller – McDonald

October 17, 1936 – February 17, 1998

“Jim Mae” as we called her, was a quiet, gentle, and loving woman. She possessed an unconditional love. No matter what trouble came in our lives, she was always by our side.

Growing up in our household, she always kept a job to take care of our needs. She worked at Golden Years Nursing Home and also cleaned houses for the white man. She never complained about anything.

I can remember her pay was $28.00 a week and she had to pay light bill, butane gas, electric bill, and food bill; also she bought shoes and clothing. Not sure how she managed but somehow she provided.

We grew up in a four room unpainted house; kitchen, living room and two bedrooms. She took pride in keeping it clean and that meant every Saturday we were washing, changing linens, mopping and etc.

Jim Mae was the kind of mother that all her nieces and nephews always wanted to be around. Everyone always wanted to come to Aunt Vera's house. It was a house of LOVE and she was a very caring soul.

Jim Mae always welcomed her family with open loving arms. She was admired as a friend that held no bars.

Jim Mae was there for everyone , always by their side to listen when no one else would. She provided a safe place where you could confide in and not be judged. This is one thing I always carried in my heart.

In the time of trouble and strife in our lives, Jim Mae would say to us, "If I could carry your PAIN, I would do it for you all." The Love of my mother was priceless not worth any amount of silver and/or gold.

Jim Mae - a gentle soul, we love and miss you dearly….The Family


Note: The family the didn't mention this but I tell you Aunt Vera could not just sing, she sung from the bottom of her soul. One of her favorite songs to sing was "Give Me My Flowers" Oh my how I miss her voice.
