Obituary for Holly Karen Peterson (Puccini)
Holly Karen Peterson, age 74, born in Newark, NJ, passed away peacefully on May 5, 2021; at her manasquan home of 40 years surrounded by her family. Holly truly made the world a better place simply by being in it. Her presence would lighten up a room. It was her glow, her smile, her gentle touch. She made friends easily and people didn’t forget her.
As a true child of the 60’s, she always rooted for the underdog. She was an accomplished pianist and guitarist. Holly was an integral part of the Manasquan community, participating in the Women’s Bowling League, advocating for various environmental causes, and working for several major law firms along the Jersey Shore.
We will all miss Holly. She was a peaceful, loving and easy going soul, unless the Mets were losing! She loved dogs, her Doozy, her beach, her home and especially loved her children, grandchildren, dear friends and her best friend and love of her life, James Moy.
She joins her parents, Allen and Louise Puccini of Millington, NJ. Holly is survived by her soul mate, James Moy and his children Michael Moy and Brian Moy and his wife Andrea, her three children; Colleen Miri and her husband Frank, Tara Reeder and her husband Mark, Brendan Sheehan and his wife Mary, 10 grandchildren, and her cousins Linda Smith and William Wallace.
You have brought so much happiness into our lives. We love you and forever miss you.
