Mary Elizabeth Holley

Mary Elizabeth Holley, age 84, died Sunday, April 21, 2019 at Dublin Methodist Hospital in Dublin, Ohio. She was born April 15, 1935 in Hurricane, West Virginia to Benjamin Franklin Wall and Hazel E. (Copley) Wall.

Preceded in death by her parents, husband, Hubert Lester Holley and siblings Wanda Burdette, Betty McCallister, Jesse Higginbotham and James Wall.  She is survived by her children, Danita (Dave) Allen of Delaware, Debra (Don) Crockett of Delaware and Hubert II (Nickie) Holley of Columbus; grandchildren, Marshall Holley, Brian (Laura) Crockett, Lisa (Nate) Linder; brother, Butch (Terry) Qualls and sister, Dee Longshore of New Carlisle; great-grandchildren, Mary Grace Holley, Logan Holley and Anderson Linder and many nieces and nephews.

Mary was a longtime resident of Dublin, Ohio and was a nurse at Worthington Christian Village for many years. She loved taking care of her patients and her patients loved her.

She was a kind and loving person who was fun to be around.  She loved making holidays special and she went to extreme lengths to do so.  She was strong willed, generous, fiercely loyal, quick with a smile and very protective of her family.  She taught her children and grandchildren that they could do anything if they put their mind to it.  She always said if someone else can do it, so can I.

Her celebration of life will be held Saturday, May 4 at 5:00 p.m. at the Allen/Linder residence, 3082 Hills-Miller Road, Delaware, Ohio.
