Her working years involved being a bookkeeper for the family business in Brewer where she did detailed and accurate work.

In addition to her parents, Mary was predeceased by two brothers, Ralph and Gene Moores. She is survived by her loving husband of 59 years, Edward Holland; daughter, Ann Skolfield of Bangor; son, David Holland of Brewer; son, John Holland and his wife, Anne, of England; grandson, Zachery Skolfield of Bangor; granddaughter, Phoebe James-Holland of England; sisters, Carolyn Perry and her husband, Jack, of Hampden, and Charlotte Hammond and her husband, Ralph, of Brooks; many nieces and nephews; special friend, Dale Ruopp.

The family would like to thank the staff of the memory care unit at Bangor Nursing for the love and care shown to Mary as well as the in-home care she received from Penney Clark during this most challenging journey.

Gifts in Mary’s memory may be made to the Alzheimer’s Association, 383 US Rt. One, Suite 2C Scarborough, ME 04074.
