Sharon Holz went to be with the Lord on Feb. 21, 2020, after a battle with cancer.
Sharon was born on April 14, 1944, in Lynden to Jordan and Elaine Silves. She graduated in 1962 from Nooksack Valley High School where she met her future husband, Gary Holz. Gary and Sharon were married on April 25, 1964.
Sharon was a meat wrapper at local Whatcom County grocery stores. She enjoyed traveling and taking the road less traveled. She enjoyed genealogy, church functions, coordinating events, taking photos, and chocolate. She saw those in need and met their needs through ways such as hospitality.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Jordan and Elaine Silves, and her brother Jerry Silves.
