Janet Holden

Our mom, Janet Holden, devoted mother, grandmother, and friend passed away peacefully at home after a short illness on Tuesday, August 27, 2024 at 73 years of age. She has left a void that is impossible to fill. She was strong, kind, and giving, leaving a legacy of love and solid values for her two children, eight grandchildren, and nine great-grandchildren. 

Mom spent her childhood in Uravan, CO. running amok. She shared so many adventure stories that would fill today’s parents with terror. She eventually moved to Casper, WY where she attended high school and soon after started her own family. When we were school age, Mom went to work for the school district so she could be home when we were. She made lifelong friends (family) there over the years and retired in 2015 at the age of 62. Never one to enjoy being idle, she then volunteered her time working at Natrona County Library, Wyoming Medical Center gift shop, Meals on Wheels and driving for Rocky Mountain Oncology.

She will be remembered as a woman who valued her family above all else. She loved adventure and activities from camping and fishing to softball and dancing. She enjoyed teaching her children and their friends how to water ski, which seems to be a favorite memory for everyone. She would never pass up the opportunity to get together with friends and family to play cards and dice. She will be so deeply missed and never forgotten.

A Celebration of Life will be held Saturday September 28th 11:00-3:00 at The Drinkery 410 Ash St, Casper, WY 82601

In lieu of flowers, if you would like, please make a small donation to Natrona County Library, Meals on Wheels, or her favorite charity, St. Judes Hospital to which she donated every month.
