Gladys Faye Scott Holland, 95, went to be with Jesus on July 2, 2026, after a brief illness with loved ones at her side. She was born November 28, 1930, in Franklin County Alabama to Peter Martin Scott and Ozie Elvira Strickland (Mitchell, Scott). She was a long time, faithful member of Ebenezer Baptist Church, Vina AL. Gladys retired as a LPN, having served the residence and their families at Red Bay Nursing Home for many years. She lovingly and skillfully cared for her husband (JT) for many years as his Parkinson’s advanced, and until he went to meet his Savior. She was a skilled seamstress and fashioned many beautiful dresses for Sherry and Tara during their childhood. She loved her family deeply, praying for them daily and always ready to cook her delicious meals for every family visit.
