Mary “Midge” Holt
June 8, 1931—March 26, 2018
Mary Margaret Holt, 86, of Lawson, passed away Monday, March 26, 2018 in Liberty, Mo. Midge was born June 8, 1931 in Marceline, Mo.
She is the daughter of the late Raymond K. and the late Mary (Frost) Davis. She married Jack Herman Holt on November 17, 1950 in Kansas City, Mo.
Midge’s passion for life and great sense of humor spilled over and flowed into the lives of so many others. From her genuine interest in everyone’s lives and activities, to making everyone feel welcome in her home, to being a thoughtful caregiver of family and friends, she was one of those rare people who could turn a difficult time into a pleasant comfort by little more than her infectious laugh. She also had a passion for reading, especially historical fiction, as well as crossword puzzles. Midge was special to all who knew her.
She is survived by her husband: Jack Holt; one son: Bradley (Lisa) Holt of Lawson, Mo.; five grandchildren: Kelly Holt, Katie Lyon, Sarah Lyon, Henry Lyon and Margaret Lyon; and three great-grandchildren: Trey Jones, Gavyn Simmons and Mackenzie Simmons.
In addition to her parents, Midge was preceded in death by her grandson, Jason Holt, and brother Charles Davis.
Visitation will be held Monday, April 2, from 1:30 to 3 p.m. Memorial service will follow at 3 p.m., both at Hidden Valley Funeral Home of Lawson.
