Kathy Holloway

Anne Kathleen (Kelley) Holloway known affectionately to family and friends as Kathy, was born on September 1, 1941 and passed away peacefully on June 16, 2026 at the age of 84.

Kathy was a kind, quiet soul with a gentle spirit and quiet determination. She had a deep love for animals – especially dogs, cats, and birds – and took great joy in her cherished collection of teddy bears. Her compassionate and loving nature touched all who knew her. She had a successful career as a professional in the insurance industry until the early 1980’s, when she chose a quieter path alongside her beloved husband and life partner of 65 years, David Holloway. Together they shared a life filled with love, loyalty, and simple joys. They were married on March 4, 1961, and made their home near Gower for 61 years.

Kathy was preceded in death by her mother, Evelyn Kelley and her two older brothers, William Kelley and Michael Kelley.

She is survived by her devoted husband, David Holloway, and her cherished nieces and nephews and extended family who brought her so much happiness.

Kathy will be remembered for her soft strength, unwavering kindness, and the gentle love she gave to those around her. Her peaceful presence will be deeply missed by all who knew her.
