Obituary For Deborah G Holt
Deborah G (Donovan) Holt, 86, of Peabody and formerly of Lynn, died Thursday at the Beverly Hospital following a brief illness. She was the devoted wife of the late Charles T Holt.
Born in Salem, she was the daughter of the late Raymond J and Josephine F (Cologey) Donovan. Raised and educated in Lynn, she attended Pine Manor College before starting her lifelong career as a flight attendant.
Deborah loved to travel and followed her dream of becoming a Flight Attendant for American Air Lines in 1959, remaining with the company for over 43 years before retiring in 2002 as a member of their Three Diamond Society. She started her career in Dallas where she lived for seven years before returning home to Massachusetts and marrying her beloved husband, Chuck. The couple bought a house in Peabody and started their family.
Deborah was a member of the Red Hat Society and Boston Northeast Van Guards, as well as being an avid gardener. Upon retiring from American Airlines, Deborah dedicated herself to traveling the world with her friends and being the ultimate grandmother to her five grandchildren. She saw them every day, attended every school function, every sporting event, and was present for every milestone in their lives.
Deborah is survived by her daughters, Kristen Adelino and Jennifer Davis, both of Peabody, her son-in-law, Luis Adelino, her beloved five grandchildren, Derek, Sophia, and David Adelino, and Georgia and Charles Davis. She is also survived by her two closest friends, Patricia DiMartile and Nancy Perry with whom she shared a lifetime of laughter and adventure. She is predeceased by her sisters Katherine J Kennedy of California and Nancy A Sullivan of Swampscott.
Visiting hours will be held on Wednesday May 31, 2023, from 8:30 AM until 10:00 AM at the Conway, Cahill-Brodeur Funeral Home, 82 Lynn St, Peabody, followed by her Funeral Mass at 10:30 AM at St. John’s Church, Peabody to which relatives and friends are kindly invited to attend. Burial will be in Puritan Lawn Memorial Park, Lake St, Peabody.
