JIM HOLLIDAY
SIX MILE — Jim Holliday, 90, loving husband of 67 years to Martha B. Holliday, went home to be with his Lord and Savior on Wednesday, Nov. 26, 2025, at Cottingham Hospice House in Seneca.
Born on Sept. 23, 1935, in Six Mile, Jim was the cherished son of the late John D. Holliday and Vaudie Dillard Holliday. A lifelong resident of Six Mile, he faithfully lived out his Christian values and was a charter and still active member of Ridgeland Drive Baptist Church. Jim found purpose and joy in the rhythms of country life, such as gardening, farming, raising livestock and keeping up with the sports he loved. Above all, he held his family close to his heart and treasured every moment spent with them.
Survivors include his wife, Martha B. Holliday of the home; son, Ray Holliday (Donna)

Brice Stadium in Columbia.
Clemson also intercepted Sellers twice, both by safety Ricardo Jones, who returned his second interception 12 yards for a touchdown with 3:20 to play in the fourth quarter to seal the win.
“We had him uncomfortable all day, pressure-wise,”
