Marian Rouse Holland, age 81, of Rose Hill, passed from this life to her eternal life on Tuesday, December 24, 2024, to be with her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ forevermore.

She was born on August 29, 1943, in New Hanover County; the daughter of the late Theodore Rouse, Sr.  and Sara Cox Newton Rouse.  Ms. Holland was also preceded in death by her son Daniel Wray Holland; great granddaughter Skyler Theel and brother Theodore "Bo" Rouse, Jr.

Ms. Holland was a lifelong member of Rose Hill Pentecostal Free Will Baptist Church.

Surviving to cherish her memory is her devoted son David James Holland and wife Judith of Rocky Point, grandchildren, Kristen Holland Blanchard, Amanda Holland Theel, Amanda Cooper, Tim Weyers, Matthew Holland, Paige Holland and Amy Holland; great grandchildren Harrison Theel, Maverick Weyers, Camden Weyers, Isabella Cancro and Noah Cooper; numerous extended family and friends that loved Marian dearly.

Marian was a loving mother and caring grandmother.  She enjoyed the simplest things in life, but her greatest joy was family.  Growing up at Duplin Nursery, she developed a love for gardening that has stayed with her all her life.  Marian, who was known as a 'social butterfly' was a people's person who never met a stranger.  She enjoyed her job at the bank for many years and met many people who became friends for life.  Marian will surely be missed but treasured memories will forever remain in the hearts of those who knew and loved her.

Graveside funeral service will be held at 12 Noon on Monday, December 30, 2024, at Duplin Memorial Gardens in Teachey with her pastor, the Reverend Jack Melvin officiating.
