Holder was born May 5, 1926 in Mountain View, Ga. She moved to Hapeville after she married her husband, John Martin Holder, and raised their two sons.
Over the years, Holder has been the proud grandmother to six grandchildren and great-grandmother to 12 great-grandchildren.
Holder said her faith and family has carried her through the last 100 years. And of course, her secret to longevity.
“Eat more chocolate,” she says.
