Sharon C. “Chick” Holdorf, 83, of Eldridge, ascended to heaven on March 20, 2022, with Don, her husband of 66 years, holding her hand. Visitation was held on March 24, at St. Ann’s Catholic Church, Long Grove, from 9 a.m. – 10:30 a.m., with a memorial mass following. Inurnment followed at the Maysville Cemetery, with a luncheon afterward at the Maysville Fire Station. In lieu of flowers, memorials may be directed to the family.

Halligan-McCabe-Devries Funeral Home, Davenport, assisted the family.

Chick was born on Sept. 2, 1938, in Muscatine and grew up in Maysville, one of five children in a loving Catholic home. She married Don Holdorf, her high school sweetheart, on Sept. 19, 1955. After raising their family in Maysville, they sold their log cabin and went out on the road in an RV. They spent several years in Comfort, Texas, where they made many fond memories with friends from across the U.S. and Canada. They later returned to Iowa, settling in Eldridge. Chick will be greatly missed here, but her light still shines from above.

She loved to cook, garden, and spoil her grandkids. Her life revolved around her family and friends.

Survivors include her husband, Don; children Pam (Dennis) Marple of Eldridge, Kirk (Danielle) Holdorf of Long Grove, and June (Dennis) Miller of Trenton, Ill.; 12 grandchildren; 18 great-grandchildren; siblings Donna (Duane) Harvey of Maysville, Steve (Madonna) Engler of Bettendorf, and Dave (Marilyn) Engler of Davenport; and sister-in-law Nancy Engler of Walcott.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Rudy and Mary Engler, and brother Mike Engler.
