Emilie Crenshaw Holladay
(6 Aug 1910 - 6 Apr 2008)

Dear Friends and Schoolmates,   
   We have even more sad news this afternoon.  Beloved Newport News High School teacher,     Miss Emilie Holladay, passed away in Farmville on Sunday, April 6, 2008. 

From an Anonymous Richmond Reader - 04/08/08 - "Notice for Emilie Crenshaw Holladay":

Had seen your page about Ms. Holladay a while back and thought I'd send you this update. She had been in poor health since the fall, but at 97 I guess that is to be expected. She was still very active and driving up until then.

Please visit the Notice for Emilie Crenshaw Holladay.

I have fond memories of Miss Holladay from NNHS. She was a great lady and an asset to every school in which she taught.

    From Joe Madagan ('57) of FL - 04/08/08:

Hi, Carol:
 
We are indeed saddened to learn of the passing of Ms. Emilie Crenshaw Holladay. She was a wonderful teacher, so mild mannered and so brilliant. She was so pleasant when she would come in to do her grocery shopping at H & B Grocery on 30th Street. For some reason, when she came into the store while I was working I felt a bit uncomfortable and still do not understand why except it was boyish shyness that kept me from saying a kind word or even to try to have a conversation. I would just smile and acknowledge her, but go back about my chores. It may have been that I was one of her marginal students with poor math skills.

   Thank you, Joe. Perhaps it was indeed the shyness.  I invariably behaved the same way myself whenever encountering a teacher outside of school.

  From Ed Nichols ('62) of Northern VA - 05/17/08:

Hi Carol.

.I was saddened by the passing of Miss Holladay, my algebra teacher in the 11th grade.  She was a no-nonsense teacher but I felt a really fine teacher.  She surprised us all in 1960, the final game of the World Series.  I had her in F period and everyone knew it was a 9 to 9 game in the nine inning.  We had thought no way would she let us listen to the game.  But surprise, surprise, she asked, "Who has a radio?" and of course, someone did.  Soon after Bill Mazeroski hit his famous walk-off home run and the Pirates won and Miss Holladay had scored many points with her students.

   Thank you, Eddie.

  Y'all take good care of each other!  TYPHOONS FOREVER! We'll Always Have Buckroe!

                          Love to all, Carol

O Lord of Life, Where'er They Be
- Lyrics by Frederick L. Hosmer, 1888; Music by Melchior Vulpius (circa 1560-1615)

O Lord of life, where’er they be,
Safe in Thine own eternity,
Our dead are living unto Thee:
Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia!

All souls are Thine, and here or there
They rest within Thy sheltering care;
One providence alike they share:
Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia!

Thy Word is true, Thy ways are just;
Above the requiem, “Dust to dust,”
Shall rise our psalm of grateful trust:
Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia!

O happy they in God who rest,
No more by fear and doubt oppressed,
Living or dying, they are blest:
Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia!
