HOLLY PRICE Obituary

PRICE--Holly Cara, 65, cancer warrior nonpareil, died peacefully at home in her sleep on November 7th, 2020, once she learned that Biden had won the election. She is survived by a host of friends and her beloved cat, Thaddeus, who has now gone to live in New Paltz, NY in a big house with Dayle. Holly discovered rock and roll at a very early age and was an assistant to Steven Van Zandt for many years and a participant in many tours with Bruce Springsteen's E Street Band. In addition, she was a producer, researcher, publicist, and social media expert for many TV shows, movies, Getty Images and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. She was a great lover of cats and those wishing to memorialize Holly should send donations to The Humane Society of New York, who rescued Thaddeus.

My dear Holly, I think of you every day. It has been hard this year without you. So many memories, so much I wish I had time to say and to tell you. Always I will remember you for a blessing and take comfort in the memories and in knowing you are in the World of Truth and Peace, and that is a comfort.

Thank you Holly for letting me stay with you, the mind blowing apple tea, sitting in Obie’s chair, JE shows, Stone Pony, Southside, and much more. Never forgot your kindness. RIP Holly xx.

I had the pleasure of spending a summer with Holly, when she came to visit our family in England , what a summer, filled with fun and laughter. We met because she was a pen friend to my sister Lorraine. I feel privileged to have met her, if only for a short time in my life, but she left a mighty impression on all of us. We were also very privileged to meet her Mum. Bless them both, very happy and cherished memories.

I had the pleasure of getting to know Holly while we both worked at Getty Images. Holly's vast knowledge of the media and music industry was impressive. We all benefited and enjoyed hearing about the different chapters of her life that were so full of interesting experiences. I also appreciated Holly's willingness to stand up for what was right even when it wasn't convenient. She lived fully engaged and fought hard. My sincere condolences to her family and good friends. May the good memories eventually take the place of grief.

Dearest Holly, although we never met in person, we connected through FB with the music of Bruce & the ESB, plus the ESB individuals music. You were a true warrior & have inspired me to keep fighting. Condolences to your family & friends and your light will continue to shine on us❤❤. Bless you!❤❤

So tough, so smart. No room for nonsense and never short on thoughtfulness. Even as she fought her most difficult battle, she reached out to pick me up during my own most difficult times a couple or 4 years ago. She truly had a heart of gold. Such a blessing to have known her for 25 years. She was indeed a "festival of unlimited possibility". She will inspire many long after today.

My best energy & prayers for her loved ones in NY/NJ and over

The most generous, thoughtful, loving friend, and the biggest Bruce booster outside of Adele Springsteen. She was a warrior, a cat mother and my soul sister.

Holly and I were college roommates & reconnected at a Springsteen concert in 2003-one of countless ones we would enjoy together over the years. My heart is broken, I will miss Holly so much! She is one of the best people I’ve ever known.

Saddened to hear of her passing. I know she fought hard. As memory...I was fortunate to meet Holly about 20 years ago when we launched Little Steven's Underground Garage Radio Show. I was running marketing for Hard Rock Cafe International, which was the title sponsor of the show, and was charged with working with Stevie on the launch of the show around the country. Of course that meant working with Holly on all the details surrounding the shows, pitching terrestrial radio stations, and the subsequent live show premieres we staged around the country. During this time, The Sopranos was emerging, and the E-Street Band was going back on tour. This just added to the excitement of the time, and the amount of phone calls! Over time we became friends and she was always right there in the middle of the chaos. Years later, we kept in touch over Facebook and here and there. I attached a favorite photo of mine during those years. RIP Holly.

So sad to learn of the passing of my friend, Holly Cara Price. After what seems like at least ten years of being told she had cancer that was terminal with maybe only a few more weeks to live, she fought and won over and over again turning weeks into months and months into years and years into almost a decade of admirable girl power! The Dutchess of Sassytown was one of those friends you don't have to talk to every day - we always picked up and had a good time whenever we were together. The last time I was in NYC, we had such a good visit and she went with me to the NY Celebrity Assistants meeting- both of us were exhausted and had a comedy of errors getting to the meeting - but the ride was part of the fun. I'll miss you, Holly! Thanks for the memories and for the life experiences I'd have never had but for us crossing paths. ❤

Holly Cara Price was a great, rock and roll wild child. She was also a journalist, editor, and writer. Before she was hired inside to work for Little Steven, Holly Cara Price was a great underground insider font of fan knowledge for Springsteen and Little Steven fans: she was the Lillian Roxton of our generation. Voice of America is one of rock's great fanzines. I hope Holly's archives and papers -- and her wonderfully arcane collection of fan memorabilia, including KFC chicken bones -- can find a worthy new home in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame or at the Bruce Springsteen Archives and Centre for American Music.

So sad to hear of Miss Holly’s passing. Not only could she capture words and music, Holly captured hearts all over the world. ‘Love’s a power that’s greater than death’ - Bruce - Holly lives on in all those lucky enough to have known her. RIP Miss Holly, warrior queen.
