Dr. Loreta Faye Holder-Brown

One sunny afternoon Dr. Holder, Billy Holyfield and I went to the reservoir outside of Conway to look for four leaf clovers. We all found one!

Dr. Holder was one of those rare college professors who got to know her students and their strengths and weaknesses. She guided each of us to a professional path that matched our uniqueness and led us to help those folks with disabilities with their unique needs. We kept in contact after college as I built my career. The last time I saw her was in the late seventies when she and "Charlie" Brown were in NW Arkansas, and invited my husband and I to dinner. Charlie Brown grilled steaks outside...

Sympathy and condolences to all of Dr. Holder's family. She was my college professor who inspired my lifelong profession of assisting people with disabilities. Dr. Linda Nichols Watts.

My deepest sympathies to your family and friends. May God bring comfort to your hearts and strengthen you during this difficult time. (2 Thessalonians 2:16,17). CM

Loreta was a good friend and colleague, it was an honor and a pleasure to know and work with her. Our thoughts and prayers go out to her family.

I knew Dr. Holder-Brown through employment at the UofA and always admired her quiet yet determined spirit to bring good to her area plus the entire College of Education. Thank you for letting us know about her legacy. She will be remembered for her giving spirit.

I am so sorry for your loss. May the God who "binds up the brokenhearted" and "comforts all who mourn," strengthen you during this difficult time. Isaiah 61:1, 2.

My sincere condolences to, the family and friend know that during this challenging you Strenght and peace keep all the good memories close to you and active in your heart and mind during this time (psalms 29:11)
