Mary Lou Ross Holtry
Mary Lou Holtry was a woman of strength courage and love. She was a warrior. She got into a car accident with her husband in the early 80's and became a quad. With the support from her husband, they made one hell of a team, side by side, through ups and downs, trailblazing their love, raising two children, battling so many unseen storms together with her husband's passing in 1998 being her biggest storm that she had to endure without him. On January 12th, 2026, 18 years of waiting for her, he came to take his beloved to his heavenly home, where they can spend eternity.
Mary Lou passed away her way at home surrounded by those that loved her dearly and those she loved dearly in return.
She precedes in death her sister Linda Simmons, her parents, Lloyd & Mary Lucille Ross, her in laws, Leo & Mary Hope Holtry, her husband Michael Joseph Holtry Sr, Michael Joseph Holtry Jr, and her best friend Shirley Littleton.
