Eloise F. HOLMAN 

Eloise Holman died peacefully at home on Wednesday, January 31st, and started 
on her next adventure with her Maker. Her 87 full years began in West Seattle on 
December 8, 1913. She is the second of three daughters born to Alta and Wyatt 
Ferguson. Her sisters, Virginia Wheat and Vallejo Prince, both of Seattle, 
predeceased her. Notwithstanding many years of Parkinson's Disease and other 
physical infirmities, Eloise enjoyed her life, and the lives of many family and 
friends, to the fullest, and was blessed by many caregivers. She graduated from 
Garfield High School in 1930, attended the University of Washington and was a 
member of the Tri Delt sorority. An adventurer from the beginning of her life, 
Eloise recuperated from polio in 1937 by traveling with her close friend, Dorothy 
Myers, on a Dutch steamer around the world visiting Africa, India and Southeast 
Asia. Throughout her life she loved to fish and hunt, ride horses, and travel the 
Northwest beaches, and enjoyed each of these ventures with the company of 
family and friends. Family and friends remember her for her open home [Lake 
Forest Park, Iron Springs and Seattle] and welcoming spirit, and gentle way of 
making not only her own friends welcome, but those of her children and friends 
who became a part of her circle and personal interest. Eloise will be remembered 
for her creativity (water colors, burl tables and the Northwest Beachcomber), 
love of the outdoors and spark of life. She will also be remembered for her 
graceful and remarkable way of adapting and making the best of adversity. Eloise 
spent fifty full and fruitful years with her husband [and second grade dancing 
partner], Francis E. Holman, who predeceased her in 1991. She is survived by her 
three children, Virginia Holman Schmidt, Frank W. Holman and Wendy Holman; 
her three grandsons [and heirs of her love of fishing], Nicholas J. Holman, 
Benjamin E. Holman and Stefan W. Schmidt.; her daughter-in-law, Patricia S. 
Holman, and son-in-law, Bernd Schmidt; her brother-in-law and sister-in-law, Dr. 
Colin and Kay Holman, brother-in-law, Kenneth Prince, sister-in-law, Emily 
Holman, and sister-in-law, Nancy Ann Holman; and many beloved nieces, 
nephews and dear friends. A Memorial Celebration will be held Wednesday, 
Seattle. Memorials may be made to the Northwest Parkinson's Foundation and 
American Parkinson's Disease Assn.
