Holly Smith Obituary

Holly Beth SmithMySweet Butterfly Girl 4/25/78 ~ 11/13/04 No Words However eloquently spoken Masterfully phrased Can express the Love I have lost this day Holly was tragically taken from us, due to an automobile accident at 11th E. and 4500 So. on Nov 13, 2004. On the day she was born her daddy called her the most beautiful and perfect girl he had ever laid eyes upon. She was his horseshoeing partner and camping partner in her youth. She was a No – Pink kinda girl. She was artistically talented, and a very levelheaded young lady. Holly had many facets of interest in her life, camping and fishing in the Uinta Mountains, and being a member of The Society for Creative Anachronism where she learned to belly dance were among her favorites. All her grandparents precede her in death. She is survived by her parents Barbara Myers Smith of Nyssa, Oregon; Ronald L. (Alice) Smith of Vernal, Utah; her sister Rosemary (Bruce Call) of Edgewood, Texas; her soul mate and Fiancé Richard A. Bullock. She loved her animals, Wolfgang and Ogre, Boo kitty, and Dotomus. I loved her so much. The brief time that I had to spend with her was just precious to me, our trips to Moon Lake, walking under a star filled clear night talking of the future and what it held for us. I'm going to miss talking to her, being able to hold her close, and of course putting mud in her hair. Bye my sweet love, My Butterfly Girl I called Holly Smith our little Iron Butterfly on many occasions. The title seemed to fit so well. She was a woman of great strength, clear insight, and high intelligence with a direct sense of purpose. Holly was also flamboyant, fun loving, a schemer, and a dreamer. I am not Holly's best friend; that title goes to another. I am also not, the most beautiful woman in town, or the most talented, courteous or patient. But Holly always made me believe I was in the running. She always held me up to my potential and never let me down. She treated all her family and friends like precious flowers. Feeding us just enough sunshine, water and B.S. for us to thrive in her company. What we will do without our little iron butterfly is up to each of us. I intend to keep her close to my soul where she has always been. Ellen Nelson Funeral services will be held Thursday, November 18, 2004 at 12:00 noon, at the Russon Brothers Bountiful Mortuary, 295 North Main. Friends may call between 10:45-11:45 a.m. prior to services. Interment at City of Bountiful Cemetery. Online Guest book at www.russonmortuary.com In lieu of flowers, please send donation to the Shiners Hospital.

I'm sad to have confirmed this terrible news after so many years have passed. Holly was a co-worker and friend with whom I could talk arts & crafts, belly dancing, music and henna with while sharing our 'consumables'. I heard her name on the news but was afraid to confirm it at the time. I'm very sorry to all who were so fortunate to have a close kinship with such a unique and grounded human being.

I really did not know her that well. She was a very good friend of my brothers Mathew Cowley. Everytime she came to our house to hang out with him she was always so happy to talk with me and say hello, even if she was in a hurry. I loved to hear them talk. They were always so funny. I just wish i could have known her like he did. I regret not knowing you Holly, :(

Holly was to me a very direct and honest person. I loved that about her very much. she was always there to tell me when she thought I might be letting my self fall, but still managed to this with me knowing she was saying it of concern & because she was my friend. She made me laugh and think, and she helped me grow at work and as a person. She was my tinkerbell. ( that used to make her smile when i'd say that) I'm gonna miss her very much, but heaven couldn't have gotten a more sincere and enjoyable person. I love you Holly , and am glad to call you my friend!

I will miss you my butterfly dancer;

Holly was my friend, my love, and so much more. She helped me in so many ways i cant begin to tell anyone all she did for me, but one thing she did was helped me to talk to God again, and that was alot. When i first saw Holly she was dancing ,i said you look so happy, she said it is easy to be happy it is all up to you. I knew at that point she was so very wise.

I also fell in love with her at that moment, but i was not ment to be. she was destined for another, he is a man of great honer, and a man i am proud to call BROTHER.

She was so very happy, and i was happy for both of them.

She will always have a special place in my heart.

dance butterfly dancer dance.

All my love.

To my wonderful friend,

From the first day I met you, I knew I loved you. You were a ‘tough girl’, like me. Ellen, you and I joked about finding Rich a woman, but then we spent the afternoon shooting down every name we could come up with, all for one reason, they weren’t as good as us, and nobody who wasn’t like us would be good enough for him. We never guessed that you would solve the dilemma we were faced with that afternoon.

A year later, when we decided to move in together, we told our landlord we were sisters in order to get around the single-family residence clause. We joked about it then, and laughed because the only real resemblance was the hair, but we still fooled him. I wasn’t sure how living with another woman would be, I grew up as my parent’s only girl and my entire group of friends, were all men. At the time we met, I only had one real girlfriend. You instilled trust in me again, because of you, I now have several close friendships to cherish.

The year we lived together was a wonderful time. Your friendship and love made the desperate poverty and troubles we all faced easier. We laughed at each others odd recipes and strange cooking, yet we each loved one dish the other would make. I would eat all your spaghetti sauce and you’d wipe out my posole. I loved our long talks on the porch, commiserating over our troubles, and taking our dogs for walks. I loved sitting in the bathtub putting mud in each others hair and having our desks facing together in our office. Your unwavering support turned simply enduring water aerobics as rehab into an enjoyable daily activity. You told me I was losing weight. Even when I couldn’t see it, you made me believe it. You made me feel so very special, in so many ways.

I loved sharing your anguish and excitement when you debated telling Rich how you felt about him. I loved, even more, your joy when you found out that he loved you, too. Yes, the ‘tough girl’ could positively ‘gush’. I love that you chose to live your life with my husband’s best friend.

I don’t have a sister, but you made me feel, what I imagine it feels like to have one.

You once told me that your grandfather was waiting for your grandmother and you knew the moment they were together again. I know you are waiting for the rest of us and most especially, for Rich, so you two can walk through the woods again. You have the biggest soul of anyone I have ever met. You were wonderful at living your life to the very fullest and helping everyone you met do the same. I won’t pray for God to give you Grace, He already did.

Thank you for being in my life, Holly, I will miss you.

All my love,

I remember when I met Holly. we were both 6 years old, living across the street from eachother and both really shy. From then on she has always been there. She was always caring and never selfish. I loved our talks. I will never forget our last coffee chat over iced cappicino and she had her snickerdoodle cookie with a lot of sugar on it, two hours before she left us. She was so happy, glowing and looking towards the future. She will always be in my heart. I will never forget her. She always taught me to be myself. I always copied her when we were younger which drove her nuts. Until I learned her lesson to be myself. She taught me a lot. I am glad I got to be her friend for 20 great years. Holly I miss you and hope you are happy where you are.Love Always-Anna

Ron, Barbara, Rosemary,

We are so deeply saddened to hear of Holly's passing. We are still trying to comprehend such a tragedy. I remember Holly and her blue velvet cape and watching her sew. She was so very talented and so creative. I also remember her "black" bedroom that she painted and decorated. She was also Steve's only sister and they had great times together. Old memories can be so painful at times. No words can express the pain of her loss, may she be watching from above and be at peace. We don't know how to contact any of you, please call if you can.

Love,

Jackie, Steve, Chris and Rick Gerber

Holly and Family,

I was shocked when I saw your picture this morning. I enjoyed working with you at MBCI. I kept thinking how mature and responsible you was beyond your years. You was there for anyone that needed a friend. Your belly dancing was a true gift. My life is richer for knowing and sharing a short time of both our lives. God be with your family and now YOU FLY WITH THE ANGELS. God Bless Sweetie.

Holly was more than a friend. She was a big sister. She was outgoing and helpful in more ways than one. Even if she didn't have it, she would give it to you. Her work is done here and she moves on to continue her work elsewhere.I along with others will miss her dearly.

God Bless you Holly and I bid you safe journey.

Holly is my best friend. I will all ways remember our times together our laughter and our tears. She tought me so much as we went through our Junior High years together and into adulthood. I remember when I broke my arm and she was there to help endure my pain and laugh at me as I tried to eat my reeses pieces cup, sitting on the second story window sill of Bountiful Junior high. She will always be in my hart mind and soul. All my love Niccole.
