Mrs. Mozelle Carnes Holder

Mozelle Carnes Holder August 21, 1935 – September 6, 2013 Mozelle Fain Carnes was born August 21, 1935, to Daisy Lankford Carnes and Olden Evelyn (Ebb) Carnes, Sr. She was the second of two children. She is predeceased by her parents and her brother, Ebb Carnes, Jr. Mozelle began working for Dr. Jack Griffin as a dental hygienist in 1958 and worked for him until he passed away and Dr. Thomas L. Brown bought his practice. She began working for Dr. Brown in 1969 and worked there Monday through Wednesday until she cleaned her last set of teeth on August 21, 2013. She also worked as a hygienist for Dr. Bailey Crockarell in Jackson, Georgia from 1964 until his retirement in 2005. She truly “lived to work and worked to live” and we don't think anyone ever loved their job more than her. This year marked 55 years as a hygienist. Mozelle is predeceased in death by her husband of over 58 years, Talmadge Holder. Mozelle married Talmadge Holder on March 3, 1954. Mozelle had her eye on Talmadge from the time she was in 7th grade. She saw Talmadge washing the windows outside her classroom at school. She told her friend that one day she was going to marry that boy and that she did. Mozelle is also survived by her son, Andy and daughter-in-law Diane and her daughter Dixie Holder Turk and son-in-law, Earnest. She is also survived by her four grandchildren, Brandy Turk Huskins and husband Chris, Rachel Turk Lewis and husband Jeffrey, JD Talmadge Holder and Crystal Holder Collis and seven great-grandchildren, Cam, Lily Grace and Sylvie Kate Huskins, Charlie Drake Lewis, Hunter JD Holder, Daisy Holder and Andrew Collis. Mozelle was a devout Christian lady who loved the Lord. She attended and was the song leader at Central Methodist Church. When not working cleaning teeth, Mozelle loved to cook and anyone who ever had the chance to eat at her table begged to be invited back! She loved to cook for anyone but especially for her family who put in their orders for their favorite meals quite often! She planted a large garden every year which was followed by much canning and freezing. She loved quilting and to go “antiquing”. In lieu of flowers, memorials can be made to Central Methodist Church 174 Central Road, Eatonton, Georgia 31024. The family received friends from 2:00-4:00 p.m., prior to a 4:00 p.m. graveside service on September 8, 2013, at Friendship Church in Eatonton with Pastor Carol Davis officiating. Andy Holder gave the welcome and opening words. Pastor Wendall Thomas gave a message and Dr. Thomas L. Brown gave a special tribute. The Central Methodist Choir and daughter-in-law, Diane, sang her favorite hymns.
