Wanda Carol Holt

Wanda Carol Holt of Tifton, Georgia, died at her residence on Thursday, February 27, 2026. The youngest daughter of John and Lola Holt, Wanda is preceded in death by her parents and her older sister, Dianna Marie Holt.

Wanda is survived by her sister, Coni and 6 cats surely qualifying her as a crazy cat lady! Anyone who spent any time with Wanda quickly learned she always did it her way and she loved her animals.

A 1971 graduate of Tift County high School, Wanda earned an associates degree from Abraham Baldwin College and a BS from Valdosta State University. Wanda retired from the Tift County Board of Education.

A memorial service will be held on Friday, March 6, 2026 at 11:00 am in the chapel of Albritton Funeral Directors to celebrate Wanda’s life. A visitation will be held before the service from 10:00-10:45 am to be held at Albritton Funeral Home. A private internment of the ashes will be held at a later date at Tift Memorial Gardens.

The family wishes to thank – although thanks is too small a word for the work of these people – the many Hospice of Tifton caregivers who held us up and supported us through Wanda’s final days. We are especially blessed to have been supported by Zoe, Nikki and Christie.

In lieu of flowers, the family suggests a donation to the local animal shelter or even better the foster or adoption of a pet or the sponsorship of an adoption.

Albritton Funeral Directors is in charge of the arrangements.
