Eunice Holland Obituary
December 27, 1931 - November 26, 2023
Columbia, South Carolina - A memorial service will be held on January 13, 2023 at 1:00 PM at the Unitarian Universalist Church on Heyward Street, Columbia, for our beloved aunt and friend Eunice (Tootsie) D Holland.
Tootsie was born in Conway, SC to the late Eunice B. and Sidney A. Davis. The family moved to Moncks Corner, SC where she graduated from Berkeley High School. She attended the University of South Carolina majoring in psychology and held the positions of secretary and president of PSI CHI, the International Honor Society in Psychology. She eloped with Bruce F Holland immediately after high school graduation and they remained together for the next 57 years until his death.
Tootsie was small in statue but had a mighty voice. She held various positions in the National Organization for Women as an advocate for women's rights and was also very active in political issues of the day.
She will be dearly missed by her many friends and nieces and nephews.

My ex wife Carroll and I were fortunate to number Tootsie and Bruce among our friends during the decade we lived in Columbia, SC. It is a true lost to now learn that now both of them are no longer with us. I remember many visits in their home. Perhaps the last included cracking a cocoanut for her mother, Miss Davis. She backed the best cocoanut cake. They are all missed.

Tootsie was such a joy to know, always bringing sunshine into a room with her smile. She was a warrior for women's justice.
Rest in peace and justice, Tootsie.
