D. Jean Holland

Dolores "Jean" Hawn Holland passed away on December 1st at the age of 93. Jean was born in Huntingdon, Pennsylvania on August 27, 1930 to Foster Franklin Hawn and Anna Maria Norris Hawn, and graduated from Huntingdon High in 1947.

Jean was small of stature, but larger than life. She strongly believed in manners and showing respect to others, and taught her family to do the same. She was known for her quick wit and loved to laugh and will be missed by many.

Jean married Robert L. Holland in 1950 and together they had two children, Nancy Lou and Robert Wade. Jean worked most of her life in office management for several local businesses and enjoyed her work; but, always made time for her family and friends. She enjoyed playing cards, especially cribbage and pinochle. She was an avid reader and loved to knit; and examples of her handiwork can be found in all her loved ones' drawers.

After her husband passed, she spent her later years with her longtime companion Merle Greene. The two enjoyed traveling extensively in their motorhome and attending gatherings throughout the US.

Jean is survived by her daughter Nancy H. Golde, grandsons Alex (Lora) and Nathan (Jennifer) Rhone and Aaron Holland. She joins again in eternity with her husband Robert and son Bobby.

A tribute to Jean's life will be forthcoming in the new year in Huntingdon, Pennsylvania.The family wishes in lieu of flowers please consider a memorial donation to Hospice of Northwest Ohio (www.hospicenwo.org) or The March of Dimes (www.marchofdimes.org).
