Publish in a newspaper
Juanita Lowe Holcomb was born at Coal Run Hill KY to Laura Gross and James Lowe. She was passionate about the homemaking arts, especially ceramics. She was a certified Duncan ceramicist. The porcelain dolls she made and repaired are prized by many people. She was an expert seamstress who loved dress-making and doll clothes though she also enjoyed making quilts and purses. She also worked in the Kroger Bakery for over 15 years. Word puzzles occupied any spare time and she was a master at those too. Mrs. Holcomb was President of the Pike County Homemakers Club. Mrs. Holcomb was a strong faith member of Adams Avenue Church of Christ and sang with joy in her faith. Throughout her life she took care of many others needing help. Her spirit, tenacity, and stellar laugh shall be cherished and missed by many.
Mrs. Holcomb, known as 'Mama', is survived by children: Phillip M. Holcomb and wife Conya of Edmond OK, James E. Holcomb of Lebanon TN, Robert H.

A private, family internment of ashes shall be held in Pikeville, KY. In lieu of flowers please make a donation to Joseph's Storehouse in Lebanon, TN. The family would like to recognize Jackie Phillips for being so helpful to the family, especially this past year.
Quite the strong-willed character, Juanita was fierce in her beliefs. But when she laughed, quite the memorable laugh. Arrangements by Sellars Funeral Home, Lebanon TN, 615.444.9393.
