            Holli attended Madonna School in Omaha, Nebraska and was employed at the Madonna Workshop.  She moved to a group home setting in Wharton in 1996.  She entered the work program at Wharton Enterprises which would later become the Texana Learning Center. 

            Holli was a faithful member of Pacific Hills Lutheran Church in Omaha and St. Paul Lutheran Church in Wharton.

            Holli loved to read, dance, listen to music, go to parties, color, swim, bowl and play with her dogs Luther and Chelsea.

            The family wishes to thank the staff at the Texana Learning Center and the Lily Lane and Maude Street Group Homes for caring for Holli for 25 years.  Special thanks to Kathy Reynolds who, with Ola Mae and Doc Barfield, made her group home placement possible.  They also wish to thank the nurses and staff of Angels Home Health and Wharton Nursing and Rehab for their love and care the past several months.  And deepest gratitude to the amazing team at Houston Hospice—El Campo for their special care of Holli in her final days.
