Obituary

In Loving Memory of Elizabeth “Bettie” Holmes

February 19, 1947 to March 21, 2025

Bettie Holmes, 78, of South Omaha, passed away peacefully on March 21st, 2025, surrounded by her family and wrapped in love.

Born February 19, 1947, to Josephine and Howard, Bettie was the youngest of two daughters. A proud Ryan High School alum and South Omaha girl through and through, Bettie was born here, raised here, married here, and raised her kids …

Personal note

Bettie’s life will be celebrated on April 10th at 11:00 a.m. at Our Lady of Lourdes Church, with a viewing at 10:00 a.m. A party will follow in the church basement, exactly the kind of send-off she’d demand—with food, laughter, and music. In her honor, the family kindly asks that any floral arrangements be purple, especially lilacs, her favorite.

You can send these to their house or the church.
David Holmes 2150 S 33rd St Omaha, 68105.

We’d love for you to share your favorite memories, stories, or photos of Bettie here. Whether heartfelt, funny, or uniquely 'Bettie'—your words help keep her spirit alive for all of us.
