LOLA ALICE HOLLIMAN  April 2, 1920 - July 12, 2012  
Lola Alice Elliott was born in Ottumwa, Iowa. In 1941, Lola came to Washington, DC where she met Earl Holliman, then a U.S. Army Major. After the war, Lola joined him at his duty station in Japan. They were married in 1946; the first American couple to be married in Tokyo after the war. From that union they were blessed with two children, Sandra and Sherry. Lola accompanied Earl to numerous Army posts all over the world, and was involved in community and church activities wherever she lived. For many years Lola played in a women's golf league in Northern Virginia. She also enjoyed playing the organ, cooking, and sailing on the Chesapeake Bay with her family. Lola was preceded in death by her husband, Earl, in 2010, and by her daughter, Sandra Holliman Botton, in 2008. She is survived by her devoted daughter, Sherry Holliman, of Lynchburg, Virginia, and four grandchildren: Peter Botton of Blacksburg, VA; John Morrison, Jenna Holliman, and Brooks Morrison Tyree (with husband Hunter), of Lynchburg, VA. She also leaves a dear great granddaughter, Kasey Morrison of Lynchburg, VA.  Funeral services will be held August 27, 9 a.m., at the Old Post Chapel, Ft. Myer, VA. Interment will follow at Arlington National Cemetery.
