Judith Ann Holdaway passed away peacefully at her home in El Reno on May 17, 2025, surrounded by her family and wrapped in love.

Born Aug. 29, 1944, in El Reno to Oliver and Eileen (Patzack) Carel. Judy’s life began on the parade grounds of Fort Reno - quite literally. Her first home was a white duplex just across the street, while her father served in the U.S. Army. Military life took the family to many places, but in 1957 they returned home to El Reno for good.
