I worked with Holly at Huron University College from 1998-2009. We joked and laughed in the lunch room; commenting on lunch choices (I always remember the Chicken Carbonara Lean Cuisine with the addition of peas, or the homemade lentil soup she would bring in).
Holly was easy going and would provide sympathetic murmuring noises, followed up with great support to any IT challenge.
To live in the hearts of those we love, is to never die. May the memories of Holly give you strength and bring you joy, in this sad time.

I have very fond memories of Holly from her time at Huron. She was exceedingly helpful and always did so with a smile. My heartfelt condolences to all her family and loved ones, but especially to her daughter Anna who was a student of mine. May you all cherish the many wonderful moments spent with Holly and find comfort in knowing that she left an indelible impression on the countless that were fortunate to have known her.

I am so sorry to hear this. Holly was a person that I deeply admired. She was beautiful, funny, cerebral, and always interesting. To Denise and Lawrence, this is a sad time for you. I am thinking of you with affection.

As a faculty member at Huron I always appreciated Holly's wry sense of humour and her pragmatism when it came to problem-solving. I am deeply saddened to hear of her untimely passing.

Such a beautiful person, inside and out. Sorority sisters, schoolmates, friends...will be sadly missed by many. The last time I got together with Holly was in London. We met at Swiss Chalet not far from her home to have lunch with our former teacher, Mr. Robert Aldred and his wife. That was so much fun. We kind of lost contact a few years ago and now I know why. I have great memories of her and I know the family will also. Rest In Peace, my friend.
