FORT ANN – Our beautiful, loving mom passed away peacefully in her sleep on August 20, 2017 with her family by her side.

Mom was born in Cold Brook, New York. She was the daughter of the late Hubert Farber and Marion (Pardee) Farber. Mom was also predeceased by our dad, her lifelong husband, Howard L Holcomb.

She was a loving mom, Nana, sister, aunt, cousin and friend. Family meant everything to Mom, not to mention the love she had for all of her pets through the years. She will be so happy to be reunited with the love of her life and all of her fur-babies, Queenie, Skidder, Bear, Ki-Ki, and Benny. She leaves behind her fierce little Suzie, who never left Mom's side during these past years of illness.

Mom loved the Adirondack's. Camping trips with her whole family was the highlight of our summers. She loved the time she was able to spend on Indian Lake, her favorite place to be. She also enjoyed gardening, bird watching and reading.
