Mary Holt Obituary
Born April 15, 1952, in Kanabeck County, Minn., she was the daughter of the late Gilber and Mary Unger, who lived in Ogilvie, Minn., and the sister of many siblings throughout the Lower 48 and Alaska.
Mary attended Ogilvie High School, graduating with the Class of 1970.
In 1982, she moved to Alaska and was an employee of the U.S. Postal Service for more than 30 years.
Her favorite pastimes were caring for her beautiful yard, decorating her home, doing crafts plus watching her collection of Oscar winning movies. She especially loved spending time with her grandchildren.
Mary is survived by her husband, William Holt; and her daughter, Mary "Missy" Witthus, both of Anchorage; her son, James Witthus of Mesa, Ariz.; and five grandsons.

Ah Mary, left us too soon. I cherish my memories of the time we spent together - so many of my best memories have Mary in them. Christmas Eve will never be the same. All who loved her will be held in my prayers for a very long time. I will miss Mary forever.
