Holly was basically a stay-at-home mom with an odd job here and there until she started work at Lewis and Clark Middle School as a paraprofessional. She enjoyed the staff there and working with the students. Upon her retirement they moved to the Nile area, living next to the Naches River for 10 years. In 2016 for health reasons, they moved back to Yakima. Holly is survived by her husband of 55 years and three sons. Her sons, Andy (wife Loni), Jeff and Eric (wife Tina) gave her great pleasure.
