Our beloved sister and aunt, Kalma Sue Holt, 44, died December 26, 1994 of a heart attack. She had undergone successful kidney/pancreas transplant surgery two weeks earlier and had been elated to have been able to spend Christmas with her family. She had been residing at her twin sister's home.
Born Nov. 4, 1950 in Salt Lake City, Utah to William F. and Irma Erekson Holt. Graduated from East High School in 1969 and from the University of Utah (in Family and Consumer Studies) in 1975. She served an 18-month LDS mission in Arcadia, Calif. starting in 1975 and has served in numerous church positions, as well. Kalma comes from a large family and loved being around her family members. She loved preparing for parties and holidays and enjoyed all the important moments in her nieces' and nephews' lives. She also cared many years for her aged parents while she still lived at home.
