Beryl Holloway Obituary
She married Leonard (Buddy) L. Holloway in 1944 and were together until his passing in 2010. They lived on Ashuelot Road in Winchester and Northfield, MA for 75 years.
Beryl worked at the The Holstein in Brattleboro, then the family farm until 1967. Then she worked at Mount Hermon School, Eaglebrook School and then Greenfield Community College until her retirement. She earned her associate degree at 60. Her time at GCC and the many friends she made while there were very special to her.
She is survived by three daughters - Joy Hanrahan (Richard) of Winchester, NH, Susan Garland of Salisbury VT., and Gaye Lane (James) of Havelock, NC, and her son Peter M. Holloway (Loel) of Mendham, NJ. She had 10 grandchildren, 17 great-grandchildren, and 2 great-great grandchildren.
Beryl loved her church, The First Church of Christ, Scientist in Brattleboro, VT which she attended from childhood. She enjoyed teaching Sunday School and chatting with the members after Sunday service.
She and Buddy loved their yard and gardening and sharing the bounty with friends and neighbors. Beryl enjoyed her walks and visiting with everyone along the way. Her Patriots and Celtics were an important part of her life. Any occasion for a gathering of family and friends was important, especially Easter, Thanksgiving and Christmas.
Beryl appreciated the frequent visits and assistance provides by her family, friends, and neighbors. The family would like to thank her homecare providers(Cammy, Brenda and Gloria) as well as her aides, hospice and the staff at Charlene Manor for their loving care.
In lieu of flowers, donations would be appreciate to First Church of Christ, Scientist Brattleboro, 57 Putney Road, Brattleboro, VT 05301. Also, given Beryl's desire to help others, an act of kindness to others would be a way of remembering her.
A memorial service will be held at a later date at a time to be announced.

I met Beryl a few times at her mother's. Her mom was my long time landlord. I remember kindness and sense of humor.. I hope the wonderful memories she left will help those near and dear to her thru this difficult time.

To The Family of Beryl Holloway: Please accept my sympathy on Beryl's passing. I worked with Beryl at GCC for approximately ten years. She was a tremendous help & support to me and made it possible for me to have some success with my job in Financial Aid. She was a good friend and a great role model. A woman much to be admired. I was lucky to have worked with her. Please know that Beryl was so proud of all her family-children, grandchildren and all others. Thank you for sharing Beryl with us in the larger community. Peace be with you.
