"I met Linda a few years ago and developed not only a business relationship but also on a personal level. Linda was probably one of the best business woman I have ever known. I could talk to Linda about anything and she was straight up in giving advice and genuinely wanted the best for everyone. She was my friend. May Linda rest in peace and continue to guide your way in life. God Bless your family."
In loving memory of
Linda Sue Holloway
February 4, 1948 - January 29, 2021

At the age of 12, the family moved to Texas. Linda attended Dripping School High School where she played many sports, made many lifelong friends, and graduated in 1966. In 1972 she moved to Austin and became the first woman to operate a printing press. That was just the beginning. She met and married the love of her life, Wayne Holloway, whom she spent 25 years with building a life & family she was so proud of. She was a hard worker and she opened Express Printing in South Austin that was very successful. Owning her own business allowed her time to play golf, coach softball & pour into her family. In 1983, she coached her daughter's softball team to the Allstars & in 1993 she took 6th place in the Dupont World Amatore Golf Championship in Myrtle Beach, SC. She loved traveling, golfing & going to the casinos with Wayne, family & friends.
In 2010, she took Missy (her dog) to Uvalde, Tx and won 1st place in the Ugliest dog contest, she was very proud of Missy and every pet before and after. The same year, Linda partnered with her son Van & started a successful golf cart business, Affordable Golf Cars, in San Marcos TX where they worked together every day until she passed away.
She was most proud of her family she had built. She would glow when she spoke of them, and she always started with her grandchildren. They were what made her life worth it. She will be missed by so many friends, family and anyone who knew her.

Tributes
"Linda will definitely be missed. I had the pleasure of working for Linda and she taught me a lot and I have many good memories with her. I loved and respected her very much. She was a woman that I looked up to and she was there for me when I lost my mom recently. I treasure the time she was in my life and the talks we had about family and Las Vegas. I\'m going to miss my lil buddy/boss lady tremendously. On behalf of my family our thoughts and prayers are with the Watson and Holloway family. She will truly be missed and never forgotten. "
"I can?t remember when we first met Linda, but Van and Stacy you guys were just babies! Linda was responsible for getting me my first job in Pharmacy and I know that was over 40 years ago. I know she will be missed. I haven?t known to many women golfers but since I started playing a few years ago I have thought of Linda a lot. Our thoughts and prayers with you all. Nancy and Ed"
