Obituary for HOLZER


Published in the Albuquerque Journal on Saturday November 20, 2010

Mary K. Holzer passed peacefully on October 8, 2010 in her beautiful home next to her beloved Chamisa Hills golf course. She was attended by her son Michael; and her four grandsons, Mike, Robb, Will. and Robert. Born in Fargo, North Dakota on February 13, 1918, Katie lived her life with an abounding enthusiasm and determination to face whatever challenges and rewards that confronted her in the almost 93 years she shared with all of us. An iconic figure, she was fiercely competitive to friend or foe, but always gracious in victory or defeat. Where some would seek a bigger hammer,to Katie it was a new driver to even the score. Her outer beauty was matched by an inner self that was loyal, wise, and caring. Katie will forever be in the minds and hearts of those many friends and family members who were graced by her prescence in their lives. She was preceded in death by her husband of 55 years, Bob Holzer; son Robbie; and daughter Susan. She is survived by her son Michael, his wife Sue; grandson Michael Jr., wife Jennifer; great-grandson Jake; grandson Robb, wife Kristen; great-granddaughter Reece; grandson Will, wife April; and grandson Robert. God bless and be with Katie on her journey. She was beloved on this earth.
