Dr. Marie Holliday is a proud graduate of Fort Worth’s O.D. Wyatt High School graduating Magna Cum Laude. She is home grown. After graduating high school, she matriculated at Boston University from which she received her Bachelor’s degree in Biology and continued her professional education at Tufts School of Dental Medicine from which she received her Doctor of Dental Medicine Degree. She began her private practice of comprehensive preventive dentistry on the southside of Fort Worth and later moved to downtown Fort Worth’s Sundance Square where she has practiced for over 30 years. Her scope of services range from the placement and restoration of implants, endodontic treatment, cosmetic dentistry to Invisalign.
Her passion is to serve her community and provide excellent comprehensive dental care as an oral medicine physician. As dental medicine has continued to advance scientifically and via technology, so has Dr. Holliday’s practice. She is a faithful Christian, knowing that her successes in life, both personal and in business, are a result of God’s Grace, and considers dentistry to be a part of her ministry as she cares for her patients.
June 2025 will mark Dr. Holliday’s one year anniversary of her dental practice relocating to the Wells Fargo Tower at City Center after 30 years in Sundance Square. In addition, her full-service flower boutique has also relocated to City Center after 20 years in Sundance Square. Dr. Holliday began her serial entrepreneurship in 1983 with the opening of Parfumerie Marie Antoinette and later opened Marie Antoinette’s Flowers to Go in 2004.
Dr. Marie Holliday was born to the parents of the Late Rev. C.A. and Alyce Holliday. Her father was a civic leader in Fort Worth and the state of Texas and the pastor of the Historic Greater St James Baptist Church in downtown Fort Worth and her mother retired from the FWISD as a counselor. As she continues to follow in the footsteps of her father, she has and continues to serve on many community boards and has received many awards throughout her life. She continues her commitment to communities of color and the importance of diversity and inclusion which results, in her opinion, of one nation under God which can be indivisible.
She is married to Alvin Tolliver and the proud mother of two natural sons and seven children by marriage who bring to their blended family a number of grandchildren and one great grandchild.
