Holly Steinbrenner Caraway
Holly Steinbrenner Caraway, 70, passed away
peacefully at her home on January 31, 2010, under the loving care of
her son, Herb, and daughter, Audrey, after a brave battle with
cancer. Holly was born on July 5, 1939, to William D. and
Geraldine Gray Steinbrenner, in Missoula, and had a deep love for
Missoula as a third generation Missoulian.
She attended Missoula County High School and
The University Of Montana. Her membership in Kappa Alpha Theta
Sorority and the Junior League chapters of both Billings and Great
Falls brought Holly great joy. She was also active in the
Episcopal Church, and was a very proud Alumna of the University of
Montana for over 50 years. Holly married Herbert William
Caraway, on March 18, 1960.
Especially dear to Holly’s heart were her
son Herb Caraway, her daughter and son-in-law, Audrey and Steve
Worthington, and her three precious grandchildren, Bryce, Blaine and
Brooklyn Worthington. Her favorite pastime was attending their
sports events and sharing treasured time at her Placid Lake cabin.
Holly and her family were very grateful for
the warm and compassionate service of Rocky Mountain Hospice as they
were an extension of God’s hand in calling Holly home. The
family would like especially to thank Merle, Kayla, Terese, Leslie,
and Chaplain Richard of Hospice, and Dr. Nieva for their
extraordinary care.
In addition to her children and
grandchildren, she is survived by her brother and sister-in-law,
William Gray and Gloria Steinbrenner; her sister-in-law Ardice
Nicholson; nephews Gerry and Tom Steinbrenner; and niece Jill
Steinbrenner Olson, all of Missoula; and sister-in-law, Cathy
Caraway Spooner and her husband, Neale, of Las Vegas. She is
also survived by her Aunt Harriet Gray and cousins Kerry Gray, Randy
Gray, Jeff Gray, all of Great Falls; Barbara Sabo, of Stevensville;
and Kathie Raff, of Seattle. Holly was preceded in death by
Herbert William Caraway.
Services will be Wednesday, February 3, at 2:00, at The Michelotti-Sawyers Mortuary, 1001 Alderson Avenue, Billings. Interment will follow at the Yellowstone Valley Memorial Park. Memorials may be given to Billings West High Football Department, c/o Paul Klaboe, 2201 Saint Johns Avenue, Billings MT, 59102
