Cordelia Holmes Obituary

Holmes, Cordelia Wilson Born December 2, 1933 in St. Louis, Missouri. Died March 7, 2015. Delie, gregarious by nature, was never happier than when spending time with, and ideally, entertaining her extended family and large group of devoted friends. Her last days were spent at her daughter Cary's home in Kalamazoo, Michigan. She died surrounded by her children, grandchildren and relatives, who had traveled from near and far to say goodbye. That she was loved, we knew. How deeply she was loved we learned by this outpouring of devotion at her peaceful end. We remain forever touched. Cary Holmes Buzzell, Lisa Holmes Osborn and Ted Holmes. Services: Memorial Service, Saturday April 25, 2015, 1:00 pm at Ladue Chapel, 9450 Clayton Rd., St. Louis, MO 63124. In lieu of flowers, we suggest that remembrances be sent in memory of Cordelia Holmes to The Pilgrim Fund - CSA % David Pray Trustee, 2738 Pioneer Club Rd. SE, Grand Rapids, MI 49506.
