Laureda Holloway's Obituary
Laureda Holloway, born May 2, 1945, passed away peacefully on May 16, 2026, leaving behind a legacy of joy, strength, and unmistakable sparkle. To know Laureda was to feel welcomed, uplifted, and occasionally — lovingly — put in your place. She carried a presence that filled every room, not with noise, but with warmth, laughter, and the music she adored.
A true social soul, Laureda never met a gathering she couldn’t brighten. She loved music with her whole heart — singing along, humming through the day, or breaking into a tune just because it felt right. Her voice, her rhythm, and her energy were gifts she shared freely, turning ordinary moments into memories that will echo for years.
Laureda lived life with a beautiful balance: kind and caring, always ready with a comforting word or a steady hand; yet firm and spicy, unafraid to speak truth, stand her ground, or add a little fire when the moment called for it. She taught those around her how to love deeply, laugh loudly, and live boldly.
Her joy was contagious. Her compassion was steady. Her spirit was unforgettable.
Laureda leaves behind family and friends who will forever cherish her stories, her songs, and the way she made every person feel seen. Though she has left this world, the music she brought into it will continue to play in the hearts of all who loved her.
May her melody live on.
