She most recently lived in Gallup, New Mexico where she taught Special Education Math at Miyamura High School. She loved her students there and felt she was meant to be their teacher. She touched the lives of each student that she came in contact with and they loved her in return. Her co-workers were excited each day to see what new colorful outfit she would wear to school. She had a special rapport with her students and the faculty said her influence will be deeply missed. Holly was a ray of sunshine to all that knew her. Her smile could light up a room and her good nature and cheerfulness was contagious. She loved her family, animals, plants, gardening, and learning. She was working on completing her Master's Degree.
