Shirley Bralley Holland, 82, passed away on Sunday, September 13, 2020 at SOVAH Health of Martinsville.

Born September 25, 1937 she was the youngest child of the late Grover C. Bralley and Edith Hurt Bralley of Wythe County, VA.

Shirley was preceded in death by her guardians who were also her brother-in-law and sister, Andrew Bane Haga and Helen Bralley Haga of Ridgeway (Horsepasture Community). Shirley had three brothers, all deceased, who served in the Armed Services: Thomas O. Bralley, Wythe County, VA; Jack Bralley (Joanne), Bradenton, FL; and G. Rex Bralley, Wythe County, VA. She was preceded in death by her three sisters: Helen Bralley Haga (Bane), Ridgeway, VA; Naomi Bralley Samples (Elec), Warner Robins, GA; and Robyn Bralley Terry, Warner Robins, GA.

She is survived by sons, R. Darryl Holland (Lillian) and Larry W. Holland, and daughter, Vickie Holland Collins (Odell), and one grandson, Logan Collins.

Shirley was a member of Horsepasture Christian Church. She loved her church, church family, and Sunday school class, serving on the Missions’ Committee and as a Sunday school teacher.

She loved to travel, going to Canada and most states, including Hawaii. She attended Steed College of Commerce, and completed a two year course of study. She went on to work for the Department of Agriculture, E.I. DuPont, and Henry County Public Schools. Her many friends were her life’s joy and the class of 1956 Drewry Mason High was still an important part of her life.
