Jean Holman will be missed by all at Holman Infiniti of Maple Shade
Friday, February 26, 2010
We, at Holman Infiniti of Maple Shade, will miss Jean Holman of Moorestown, the guiding light behind the Holman business for more than half a century. Jean Holman passed away on January 20, 2010.
Born in Philadelphia in 1926 as Jesse Jeanne Polk, Jean grew up in Merchantville and graduated in 1944 from Merchantville High School, where she was voted "Class Leader." She attended New Jersey College for Women, and after graduating with a degree in psychology spent two years working for the Campbell Soup Company. In 1950, she married Merchantville classmate Joe Holman. In 1952, the couple moved to their home in Haddonfield, where they lived for the next 56 years. During the early period of her marriage, Jean focused on raising her three children and spent many happy hours exchanging and debating thoughts and ideas with her kids and their friends, and dispensed wisdom which has continued to guide her children to this day.
She also donated many hours volunteering with both the Red Cross' blood bank program and CONTACT Community Helplines. Jean was devoted to a healthy lifestyle constituting vitamins, protein shakes, and exercise. She greatly enjoyed practicing Pilates and continued her Pilates sessions until weeks before her death. After raising her children, Jean attained a master's degree in educational psychology from Temple University and worked for the university as a career counselor. Subsequently, she joined the family business and served as a Special Projects Coordinator for the Human Resources Department. She regularly influenced the company's direction as a member of the Holman Enterprises Executive Committee.
In addition to her husband, Jean is survived by sons Jeff of Barrington and Steve (Georgine) of Dorset, VT; daughter Mindy (Frank Beideman) of Moorestown; two sisters, Helen Peitz of Haddonfield and Elizabeth Soderland of Mt. Laurel. She has four grandsons: Jeffrey and Brett Holman and Brad and Joe Beideman. A memorial service was held in her memory on Friday, January 29th, at the First Presbyterian Church of Moorestown, 101 Bridgeboro Road.
This brief biography of her inspiring life is intended to be a fitting tribute to her remarkable persona.
