Holly was a member of the class of 1977. She only attended RLT her senior year when we moved here from Kansas but she was an active member of the band and went on to attend Northlake and worked for a number of years at TI and then was the office manager at Northhaven United Methodist Church. She lived in Farmers Branch until she married and then lived out the remaining years of her life in Irving. Holly was a true cancer warrior, living from the time she was diagnosed with stage four metastatic bone cancer in 2001 until October 25, 2012. Eleven years with a terminal diagnosis is enough of a fight for anyone. Join us in celebrating her memory and her courageous fight. God bless.
