Catherine M. Holmes, of Holliston, Massachusetts, passed away on March 20, 2026. She was 75 years old.
Born on April 2, 1950, in Milford, Massachusetts, Catherine spent her life rooted in the community she loved. She graduated from Marian High School in Framingham, Class of 1969, and went on to earn her degree from Aquinas College.
Catherine made her home in Holliston, where she lived for her entire life. She was a woman of deep faith and a devoted member of St. Mary’s Parish in Holliston.
She will be remembered for her steady presence, her devotion to her family, and the simple joys that brought her happiness. She loved shopping at TJ Maxx (and returning things just as much) and took great pride in creating beaded jewelry, often making pieces for the people she loved and cared about.
She is survived by her beloved husband, Jeff; her children, Julia and Dan (Lee); her cherished grandchildren, Stella, Flora, Luca, Ethan, Amelia, and Harry; and her brother, John Criasia, and her sister, Margaret Ferrante.
A memorial service will be held at a later date. Arrangements are under the care of the Chesmore Funeral Home of Holliston. www.ChesmoreFuneralHome.com
