Doris 'Diane' Williams Hollie

October 1, 1950 - February 13, 2022

Diane was called to her heavenly home while surrounded by her family on Sunday, February 13, 2022, at the age of 71. She was born in Independence, Louisiana, and planted her roots in Ponchatoula, Louisiana where she raised her family. Her greatest joy in life were her children and grandchildren, who she adored and enjoyed spending every moment with. When she wasn’t spending time with her family, she enjoyed putting together jigsaw puzzles and tending to her garden. Diane was a very genuine, loyal, honest, and loving mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother that is already deeply missed by her family and friends. She is survived by her daughter, Marie Hollie Colona; sons, Teddy Ray Hollie, and James Hollie; sisters, Tracey Cassell, Maria Rodriguez, and Doris Carter; brothers, Virgil Williams and Ivy Williams; grandchildren, Ashley Ford, Rebecca Ford, Lacey West Moreland, Joseph Joiner, Shirley Weaver, Nicole Pines, and Tiffany Hollie; and 21 great-grandchildren. Diane was preceded in death by her husband of 57 years, James Wayne Hollie; parents, Austin and Viola Williams; daughter, Melissa Hollie; grandson, “Lil” Wayne; 3 brothers and 3 sisters. Relatives and friends of the family are invited to attend a Memorial Service on Tuesday, February 22, 2022, starting at 2:00 p.m. at Eastside Baptist Church in Ponchatoula.
