Peggy Janis Holt, of Russell Springs, passed away on Friday, November 12, 2021, at Greenview Regional Hospital, in Bowling Green. She was 84 years of age.
Janis was born in Russell County on September 25, 1937, daughter of the late Robert “Bert” and Tressie Anderson Bottom. She was a sweet, generous Christian lady who was known to have given the coat off her back. Janis was loved by everyone who met her, especially children. She would always have a house full of children, most being someone else’s. Kids wanted to spend their snow days and summer’s off from school days at her home. Janis loved all of her family deeply.

Along with her parents, Janis is preceded in death by her brothers, Raymond Bottom, Veston “Bocky” Bottom and William “Billy” Bottom; her niece, Sandra Miller; and her former husband and father to her children, Kenneth Leon Holt.
