Holly was a wonderful mentor to me when I first started in the field of social work. She taught me many things, and what I remember the most was her dedication and her heart of care that influenced the lives of so many. She will be greatly missed.

My sincere condolences to Holly’s children and their families and to both her siblings Joslyn and Mark and their families and Valerie’s family. This was very sad news to receive. Time will help heal the sorrow you are feeling and cherish your memories of Holly.

Love from Regina Sask

Cousin Kendra, Elemer and family.

We live in the same "village of condos" in Edgemont as Holly.

When her children were younger we saw her at soccer.

Over the years, we watched her going walkabout with the Condo Board so that issues with residents could be addressed.

Capable, responsible, cheerful, and a good neighbour - that was what we thought of Holly.

We are so sorry for your loss. May her memories be a blessing.

My sincere condolences to all Holly's family and her siblings with love cousin barbara Barbara and Paul bednjak

I worked with Holly at Catholic Family Service from 2010-2019. She provided me much guidance and encouragement for which I will always be grateful for. She spoke of her three children often at work and it was so apparent how much she loved them and how proud she was to be their Mom. To Holly's children, I am so sorry for the loss of your Mom.

We have been next door neighbors to Holly for the last 9 years and we knew her to be a jolly person who will greet us with her friendly smile everytime we bumped into each other. We will miss her smile for sure and her great personality as well! Our condolences to her family during this time of grief and mourning the lost of a great person as in Holly.

Our hearts are broken with the loss of our Aunt Holly. Sending love and condolences to Jon/Tara, Tim/Marta, Ali/Jay and Aunt Holly's pride and joy Bea. She will be missed by many. The memories of her voice and laughter will forever be in my heart.

My sincere condolences to John, Tim, Alison, their spouses, granddaughter Bea and Holly's siblings. I first met Holly when Tim and my son became friends in grade five. My husband Chris and I remember the many occasions we were guests at the Charles' residence.. Holly was a bright light and I will always treasure those times spent with her and our many telephone conversations.

May warm memories of special moments with Holly comfort you in the days ahead.

Much love

Condolences to Holly's Family and Joslyn and Mark.

Much Love and Prayers.

From cousin Bunny Hubick.

Heartfelt condolences to Holly’s children and siblings. Holly and I lived down the street from each other and we were the best of friends growing up. We had the best childhood and enjoyed playing outdoors every day of the year - baseball, hide and seek, clubhouse games, ice skating, roller skating, biking out to the country. We had it all. Holly and I loved reading books and we made weekly trips to the library. She was knowledgeable, determined and disciplined and this led her to success, not only in working but in raising her three children. Just knowing that Holly is no longer in this world makes me very sad.

Sending our deepest condolences to all whom love Holly.

I was far too young to remember or share fond memories of

our cousin Holly, there is only time to grieve and heal your hearts

Much Love Cousin’s

Holly played a pivotal role in my career development at CFS.. she pushed me to be better, encouraging me to return to school. I admired her passion, knowledge and advocacy in this field. She was like no other.
