William Holsted Obituary
William Harold Holsted, a beloved husband, devoted father, proud grandfather, and cherished friend, passed away peacefully on October 7, 2025. Born in the quiet town of Mountain View, Oklahoma, on September 9, 1932, Harold’s life was a shining example of integrity, kindness, and unwavering dedication to those he loved.
As a husband, Harold was a steadfast and tender partner—his love for his wife, Betty, enduring through every season of life. As a father to Caroline and Vickie, he instilled the values of hard work, resilience, and quiet strength, shaping generations with his wisdom and example. And as a friend, he was loyal and true, always ready with a story, a joke, and a drink in hand—bringing warmth and laughter wherever he went.
Harold's legacy lives on in the lives he touched, the lessons he taught, and the love he gave so freely. Though he will be deeply missed, his spirit remains ever-present in the hearts of those who had the privilege of knowing him.
Join us in celebrating the unforgettable life of Harold—let’s raise a glass, share stories, savor good food, and smile in his honor.
