Obituary

We celebrate the life and mourn the death of our beloved mother, grandma, sister, aunt, and friend. Barbara Holloway Monson passed from this earthly life on Wednesday, October 11, 2017 at the age of 81. She was born on September 21, 1936 to Provinsal and Opal Clark in Loa, Wayne County, Utah. At a very young age her parents divorced and her mother married Elmer Peterson, who raised Barbara as his own. In 1955, while living in Green River, Utah, Barbara met and married Marvin Albert Holloway, the love of her life. They had four children and later welcomed a "big sister" into their little family. Barbara taught her children to work hard, appreciate diversity, serve others, and to love the Savior. She loved to laugh and make others laugh. In the words of her brother, George, she was "bubbly." She was always in the service of others, and often took no thought of her own needs and wishes. She loved children, especially Damian, Kalina, and Kambry, with whom she shared her golden years. Barbara never missed an opportunity to talk to and touch a child's life. She often shared her testimony of the Savior and His gospel with family, friends, and associates. After Marvin's death in 1987, Barbara married Dean R. Monson, who she cared for until his death in 2016. Barbara is survived by four of her five children, Bob Holloway (Esther), Charlene Hall (Jeff), Lester Holloway (Liz), and Cathy Coultard (Rob); 18 grandchildren, Jennifer, Brittney, Donald , Mariah, James, Blessing, Prosper, Jeffery, Aubrey, Nicholas, Miciah, "Kimmy," Eugene, Brenda, Brandy, T.J., Sharon, and Norman; and 29 greatgrandchildren. She is preceded in death by her parents, her husbands, and her oldest son, Marvin Jay "Doc" Holloway. Barbara will be missed by all who knew her. Her family wants to thank all the care givers at the Bee Hive Home in Orem and the hospice nurses from Encompass for their loving service and attention. A public viewing at 11:00 A.M. to 12:30 P.M will precede the funeral service at 1:00 P.M. on Wednesday, October 18th at the Walker Sanderson Funeral Home located at 646 East 800 North, Orem, Utah. Barbara will be laid to rest in the Hurricane City Cemetery, in Hurricane, Utah on Thursday, October 19th at 11:00 A.M.
