Sending my heartfelt condolences and prayers to the family. She was such a beautiful person inside and out. Rest in heavenly peace

I worked with Ms. Holloway. I couldn't wait to talk to her on Monday mornings because she always had an adventure to share from the weekend. I'd see her and say, "Good morning, Ms. Holloway! Where did you go this weekend?" And I'd be ready to take notes because Ms. Holloway LIVED her life. She always had a new spot she'd discovered or a new activity she'd tried. Ms. Holloway was also so wise without being pushy. She would drop a gem and keep moving, leaving it to you to pick up. I am grateful to have met her and grateful for the lasting impact she's had on my life. She was cherished and she is missed. Ms. Graham, Librarian.
