Cori Lynn Holt Obituary (1975

Cori Lynn Holt of Midlothian, TX was born March 16, 1975 in Arlington, TX to David Michael and Dianna Lynn Phears Holt of Duncanville, TX. She passed away February 10, 2018. She had suffered for several years from multiple health issues. The family moved to Apple Road in Midlothian in 1977. Both sets of grandparents soon followed. Cori accepted Jesus as her Lord and Savior on September 15, 1983 and was baptized into the Fellowship of First Baptist Church of Midlothian. Cori began showing horses at nine years old and won many awards. In high school she participated in volleyball and tennis. She was also the quarterback on the powder puff football team. Family ping pong games were also a favorite. After graduation from Midlothian High School she graduated from Arlington Court Reporting School. She chose to work for her father at ARTech Lab and was skilled at many of the processes in the fabrication of cosmetic silicone prostheses. She especially enjoyed working with kids from Texas Scottish Rite and Shriner's Hospitals. Cori was an avid reader and was rarely seen without a book in her hand or headphones listening to audio books. Due to her health issues she wasn't able to socialize much in recent years but loved her family and friends dearly. Her beloved dogs, Orson and Ike, were her constant companions. She fought hard to recover and re-connect with those she loved, but just wasn't strong enough. She may be gone from our presence but will never be forgotten and remain in our hearts forever. She is survived by her parents, David Michael and Dianna Holt, grandparents, William Robert Phears (decd) and Myrtice Wynell Munday Phears, Willie Elmer Holt, Bobbie Ruth Smith Holt (decd) and Mary Holt, cousins, Christopher Dale Holt and children, James and Abigail Holt, Emily Ruth Holt Salinas and husband, Chris and daughter, Salem and Eddie Holt, aunts and uncles, Gina Lee Holt, Max and Sandy Holt, Connie Munday Sills (honorary), Mike and Suzanne Anderson (honorary uncle and aunt), and Pat and Jacque Hughes (honorary uncle and aunt), and numerous great aunts, uncles, second and third cousins. The family requests in lieu of flowers, that donations may be made to Oak Crest Baptist Church in Cori's name. "I'll gladly die in my sleep, if my dog is at my feet. And I'll wait at the Pearly Gate if Saint Peter don't give way. And if Ike has his say, it will be...."Look Mister, she just can't wait." Cori Holt 2017 (Her last poem)
