Holly Jo Devers

Holly affectionately called me "Mama Ford" during our time in the Navy as I was much older. We reconnected after her diagnosis and I drove to Louisiana from Illinois to see her. We had the most amazing time and I met her girls. May the love of friends and family carry you through your grief.

I met Holly in the Navy and became "Momma Ford" & yes I felt very protective and motherly. When I spoke to Holly prior to her first transplant, I instantly drove from Illinois to Louisiana. There was not a second thought. I'm so glad I have another Angel to watch over me! May the family take comfort in knowing how loved she will always be to those who knew her.

On behalf of Louisiana Women Veterans, we would like to extend our heartfelt sympathies to the family of Ms. Holly Jo Devers, U.S. Navy Veteran. Here is a poem that we honor our women of military with at their passing:

She is a woman veteran
Whose service was true
She proudly served
The Red, White and Blue

She gave a part of her life
So others could be free
And without any hesitation
She joined unselfishly

She did her job well
With Honor and...

I had the honor of being a dance mom with her a few years back. Our girls took dance together at Susan's . She was the fun mom I looked forward to catching up with each week. She always had her hands full with those beautiful girls. The youngest was quite an entertainer as I remember. So sad to hear of this loss.. Praying for her girls and hoping our paths cross again so I can hug them!

May God be your strength in this time of sorrow Matthew 5:4 "Happy are those who mourn since they will be comforted."

Served with Holly in the Navy. Good times and good memories. I will never forget her. Good thoughts to the girls and family..

Although I never met Holly, it always saddens me when we lose a LAM sister. Sending prayers for peace & comfort to Holly's family.
Hugz & Aloha,
Katz

Missing you my dear friend.
