So many happy summers at Shak-A-Mak State Park camping every summer. Swimming, campfires and of course wonderful food! We have all grown and gone our separate ways but they can’t take our memories away. May our Lord continue to hold you in His arms, Ginny.

We are so sorry for the loss of your Mom. Your family is in our thoughts and prayers! With angel wings she will now watch over your family. At night, look to the sky and she will be the brightest star, always shining rays of warmth! Love Lisa and Deena ♥️ߙϢ٥️
She and Edmund were examples of love and caring. They were so good to me when I sold their home and welcomed me into their new one. Bob enjoyed seeing her at the Hermitage. God bless all of you. He blessed you with wonderful parents and memories.
I am out of the country visiting my daughter so will not be able to tell you in person how sorry I am for your loss. Love and thinking of all of you, Sandy Teagardin Thomas
Momma Holzer’s legacy of love, family and faith will live on for generations. Her natural beauty, grace and humor made everyone grateful for the opportunity to be in her life. May the love she gave so willingly fill the hearts of her family and friends. Our deepest condolences and prayers…Peri and Maria
Ginny was a popular member of a group students from St Mary and Cathedral, who, under guidance from Fathers Knoll and Adjamie, encouraged group and worship opportunities: Folk Dancing and spiritual discussion groups. I met Ginny driving her and others to a retreat in Lisle Illinois. I believe we will all be together again one day.

Special memories taking the shortcut behind our Hoss road house and cutting across the backyard neighbors to the Holzer house. The Holzer girls and Mrs. Holzer taught me a lot about sewing and especially how to make button wholes. I went on to be a champion several times at the 4-H fashion shows in Marion county, and on to attend the New York Fashion institute and opened my own Bridal dress business for a short time. All started in Ginny Holzers sewing room. She will be missed, but my mom Betty I know has already welcomed her home. Praying for the entire Holzer family.
We are so sorry for your loss. Sending hugs and prayers. the Bondurants
