Sarah Deanna Holloway ,18 (article, in lieu of obituary)
Lincoln woman was animal lover, energetic
By MARK MAHONEY / Lincoln Journal Star
Saturday, Dec 23, 2006 - 12:14:57 am CST
Sarah Holloway, a Lincoln native and animal enthusiast, died Tuesday evening
in a traffic accident in Kansas City, Mo. She was 18. Holloway, who graduated
from Lincoln High School last spring, was returning to Lincoln from Mississippi
with a 19-year-old woman, said her mother, Denise Holloway.
The accident happened when Sarah, who was driving a silver 1995 Chevy Monte
Carlo, lost control of the car, crossed three lanes of traffic and ran into
a concrete wall while driving west on Interstate 70, according to Kansas
City police. A westbound semi truck hit the car and her, killing her instantly.
I-70 was closed for about five hours. The truck driver and Sarah’s friend
were not injured.
Denise said her daughter and the other woman had gone to Mississippi to visit
the friend’s family and explore the option of moving down south. Sarah
wanted to be a veterinarian or a massage therapist, her mother said, though
animals were one of Sarah’s primary interests. “She’s always
had a thing for animals,” Denise said. “She really wanted to go
to Africa and work with monkeys. I think animals were her main focus and
the massage therapy kind of a back-up so she had a career.” Sarah’s
love for animals, especially monkeys, went beyond her dreams of traveling
overseas. Her mother said Sarah owned all sorts of items relating to monkeys.
“She just collected monkeys,” Denise said. “She was going
to buy herself a new truck after school, drive to Australia and take care
of the kangaroos and the monkeys. You couldn’t convince her that you
can’t drive across the ocean.” Even though Sarah loved monkeys,
she also cared about other animals, especially her black cat, Babe, which
she rescued three years ago. “She just brought him home,” Denise
said. “There was no turning back. She kind of brought him back to
life.” Animals were one of Sarah’s many passions. She loved to
clean, baby-sit, travel, listen to music, play with her nephew and help others,
her mother said. “Sarah didn’t have a stranger in her life,”
Denise said.
Sarah had also been in a two-year relationship with a man who lives in Kearney,
and she had planned to spend the rest of her life with him, her mother said.
“She was going to come back and see him this weekend,” Denise said.
“They were planning on him moving (to Mississippi) and getting
married.”
Sarah Holloway is survived by her mother, Denise Holloway, and her wife,
Bambi Smith, of Lincoln; her father and stepmother, Dale and Dolly Wendland,
Arapahoe; her sisters, Pamela Holloway and Tiffany Wendland Holloway of Lincoln,
and Nicole Wendland of Arapahoe; brother Dillion Wendland of Kearney; four
grandparents; one great-grandparent; one uncle and his family; two aunts;
and one nephew. She was preceded in death by two grandparents, Ted Wendland
and Dorothy Adams.
A memorial service for Sarah will be Wednesday at 1 p.m. at the Roper and
Sons Chapel, 4300 O St.

Funeral Home.
Born Dec. 1, 1988, in Indianapolis, Paige and her family moved to Columbia
in 1999. A senior at Rock Bridge High School, she was a member of National
Honor Society and the Thespian Society and worked on the school paper. She
had been accepted to the University of Missouri and planned to major in
journalism. The only thing more important to her than her education was her
family.
Paige will be remembered as someone who loved to perform, never afraid of
being the center of attention. Fairness and honesty were special qualities
that showed through her bright smile and a laugh that seemed to leave musical
notes in the air.
She and her father enjoyed going to Broadway shows, sharing a love of music,
especially of the Beatles. Paige’s best friend also happened to be her
mother, who instilled in Paige and her brother, Parker, the importance and
value of a good education. The close relationship between Paige and Parker
was obvious to everyone - a duo of lightheartedness combined with mutual
concern for each other impressed family and friends alike.
As a vegetarian, she was aware of having a healthy lifestyle; however, that
didn’t mean that she wasn’t occasionally caught with a candy bar.
Paige was a member of the Columbia Chamber of Commerce Junior Leadership
program and had volunteered at Cedar Creek Therapeutic Riding Center through
the Rock Bridge Reaches Out program.
Paige is survived by her father, Marty Siddall and his wife Sherry; her mother,
Jody Siddall; and her brother, Parker, all of Columbia; paternal grandparents
