Grace Hollied died March 1, 2001, at the age of 97. She was born in Iowa in 1903 and had been a resident in New Mexico for many years. She married Clarence Hollied in 1927. Mr. Hollied died in 1954 in Taos, New Mexico. Mrs. Hollied is survived by two step-grandchildren, Ann Kelliher and her husband, Bob, of Tucson, Arizona and John McCusker and his wife, Christine, of Temecula, California; as well as a great host of friends. Mrs. Hollied was Executive Secretary at the University of New Mexico Medical School Library, and her immediate supervisor regarded her more as an administrative assistant, originating correspondence, conducting budget studies, and supervising accounting procedures for the Library. She generated memoranda outlining policies of the Library, which were, in many instances, passed on to the Bernalillo County Medical Society. She was often referred to as a"sounding board" for the operation of the Library. The then librarian regarded her as his"right hand" as she truly filled the position of his administrative assistant. After retirement she was more active than ever, doing volunteer work for the hospital, and making weekly calls to express concern about people who were"shut ins." She also did work for the late C.G. Wallace, a Zuni Indian trader who owned the De Anza Motor Lodge, and continued to have contact with his sons. She was alert and active up to the very moment of her death. As she requested, there will be no Service, and Burial will take place at the National Cemetery in Santa Fe, where Mr. Hollied was buried. If you are so inclined, please give a memorial in her name to a charity or church of your choice. Fitzgerald and Son Funeral Directors, 3113 Carlisle NE, are in charge of her arrangements.
