Mary Holmok Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Toale Brothers Funeral Home & Crematory - Colonial Chapel - Sarasota on Nov. 25, 2025.
Mary Kathleen Holmok (Kathy), age 80, peacefully passed away Thursday morning, November 20, 2025, at her residence on Longboat Key. FL. She was born May 31, 1945, in Ravenna, Ohio, a daughter of the late Mary and Fred Finney.

Kathy was preceded in death by her husband, Kenneth Holmok; two daughters Tracy Holmok Seifert (Tom) and Tara Holmok Quam (predeceased) (Paul); three grandchildren Kenny and Drew Seifert, Genevieve Cary (Alex); two sisters, Patty and Sherry. She also leaves many other family members and friends who will sadly miss her.

She was a strong and fiercely independent woman who loved travel adventures and playing games with friends. Mostly she loved spending time with her children and grandchildren and being a part of their lives. And not to be remiss, all the fun she had with her loving dog and companion Bruno.

A memorial service will be held at 10:00 AM Friday December 5, 2025, at First United Methodist Church, Sarasota.

In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to a charity of your choice.

Rest in peace and know you are loved.
