Holly Kathleen Ray

Holly Kathleen Ray, daughter of James Ray and Christy Nappier was born August 23, 1962 in Saint Louis, Missouri. She departed this life April 24, 2023, at her home in Climax Springs, Missouri at the age of sixty years, eight months and one day.

She was preceded in death by her parents and one son, Raymond E. Sharp Jr.


She is survived by two sons, William Sharp & wife Annette of Climax Springs, Missouri, Larry Sharp & wife Chelsea of Climax Springs, Missouri; two daughters, Becca Ross & husband Rob of Edwards, Missouri, Nicole Blair of Portland, Oregon; ten grandchildren; eight great-grandchildren; two sisters, Robin Ray-Harris & husband Barry of Climax Springs, Missouri, Tracey Byrd of Independence, Missouri; two brothers, Michael Ray of Festus, Missouri, Jeff Ray & wife Donna of Festus, Missouri. As well a host of nieces, nephews, other relatives and many friends.


Holly was raised in Climax Springs and was a 1981 graduate of Climax Springs High School. As a child Holly helped work her family’s farm which started her off with a great work ethic and her love for cattle. As no stranger to work Holly’s first job was as a thirteen-year-old and worked at the Climax Springs school during the summer. Climax Springs was Holly’s forever home as she raised her three children there before moving away for a short period but returned where she’s lived since retirement.


Holly made a profession of faith early in her life at the Heartland Church in Camdenton, Missouri.


In her spare time, she enjoyed her morning coffee on the porch watching her hummingbirds. You could often find her helping her son with his cattle as it was a long-lasting love of hers since her childhood.

She was a loving and a caring mom, grandmother, great-grandmother, sister, aunt, neighbor and friend. We celebrate her life and her accomplishments and will treasure the memories she created for her family and friends.
