Passed away peacefully on Saturday, November 15, 2025.
Dorothy was born August 9, 1937 in St. Louis MO. Dear wife for over 70 years to Charles E Holaway, Proud mother to Dave (Shari) Holaway, Sandi (Herm) Ploesser, Debi Licavoli, Steve (the late Shellie) Holaway. She was a loving grandmother to Andrew, Lauren, Brad, Tom, Dominic, Sam and Ben. Dear cousin and friend to many
Cherished mother, grandmother, and friend, she touched every life she encountered with her generous heart. She found joy in traveling, volunteering, church bible studies and spending time with family and friends.
In lieu of funeral services and to honor Dorothy, we ask that all who wish to participate make a donation to Feed My People.
I offer my deepest sympathy to the Holaway families. I was a co-worker for many years with both Dot and Shellie. A remarkable woman. She now has the privilege of looking down on all. May she rest in peace.
Dear Holaway family,
Your mom was always so sweet to my mother Jane Jerashen who passed in 2019. I remember them getting together before my mom had major medical issues from a massive stroke. Even after that my mom mentioned her. I remember working at A&W with Sandi. It has been a long time. We just recently became members at Resurrection after moving back to St. Louis, but I never had an opportunity to see her, I wish I had. I’m so very sorry for your profound loss. May the Holy Spirit comfort all who love your mom as only the Holy Spirit can. All of you will be in my prayers!
You mom was such a great friend of my mom Jane Jerashen who passed away in 2019. I still remember them getting together before my mom’s massive stroke. I remember working with Debi at A&W. We re entry moved back to St. Louis from Swansea, IL and we joined Resurrection. I’m sorry to say we never crossed paths there. May the Holy Spirit comfort all who love your mom as only the Holy Spirit can comfort. You will be in my prayers!
