Holly Stewart

Holly Ray Stewart was born August 21, 1929, in Fort Worth, Texas. He passed into eternal life May 20, 2016, in Lubbock, Texas. Holly married Dorothy Nell Patterson in Hobbs, on March 27, 1948. They shared 68 wonderful years of married life.

Holly worked for Phillips Petroleum from age 18 to his retirement in 1985. He served the Lord through his church, Faith Assembly and through the Gideon's International. Holly and Dorothy are known for their generous hearts and loving ministry to many people. Proverbs 17:6 says, "Grandchildren are the crowning glory of the aged; parents are the pride of their children." This scripture so beautifully describes how our family feels about our dad and mom, and how they cherish their grandchildren and the entire family.

Survivors include wife, Dorothy, of the home, daughter Doris Lanpher (Dennis) of Las Cruces, NM, sons David Stewart (Linda) of Rio Rancho, NM and Stephen Stewart (Wynette) of Amarillo, TX. Grandchildren are Hannah & Savannah Stewart, Evelyn & Becky Stewart, Pam Randall (Todd), and Terry Lanpher (Sheri). Other survivors include Peepsie & John Lankford, Holly's sister-in-law & brother-in-law, and a host of other family members and friends.

Holly was preceded in death by his daughter, Rhonda Jane Stewart, parents, George & Iva Stewart, brother, Rev. Try Stewart and Gaylon Stewart, and sister Onie Marie Hudson (Rev. Raymond Hudson) and sister Gladys Jackson (Glenn).
