Holly James Obituary

Visit the Lindquist Mortuary - Layton website to view the full obituary.

Holly Ruth James, our beautiful baby girl, returned to the presence of our Heavenly Father on May 18, 2024. Holly was born October 3, 2022 in Layton, Utah. Even though she was only here for a short time, she was a blessing to her family. 


Holly freely loved all around her but had a special connection with both of her grandpas. Some of her favorite things included eating snacks, reading books, putting on socks and shoes that belonged to other family members, helping unload the dishwasher, and giving hugs. Holly’s smile, red-haired piggy tails, and expressive eyes made everywhere she went just a little more beautiful.


She will be greatly missed by her parents, her two brothers, her two sisters, and her extended family including grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins.

A private viewing and graveside services will be held for the family on May 24, 2024. 

To plant trees in memory, please visit the Sympathy Store.
