Holly Gay Murton, aged 68, passed away peacefully on December 24, 2023, in Maple Ridge, after a courageous battle with cancer. Holly's radiant spirit and genuine kindness touched the lives of all who knew her.
Holly's life was filled with love, music, and faith. She had a passion for playing the piano; it brought comfort and joy to many. Her dedication to her church community was unwavering; she served with a generous heart, always ready to lend a hand or offer a word of encouragement.
She is survived by her children, Sonia Jones (Dustin) and Leah Rhodes (Cam), Matthew Pereira (Selina), and Jordan Pereira (Jenna). Her grandchildren, Brooklyn, Keagan, Lily and Zoey.
Holly's legacy is one of compassion and warmth. Her ability to make each person feel valued and loved was a gift that she freely gave. She approached life with a gentle strength, facing challenges with grace and a smile that could light up a room. Her spirit will continue to inspire those who were blessed to know her, and her influence will carry on through the lives of her beloved family and friends.
We are sincerely grateful to the many friends who have given us support and comfort during this time of loss.

My dear Holly we were neighbours 59 years ago. Our best and only babysitter for our 3 boys. Was always a most caring person. Everytime we met it was just like Family. Those were such a nice times to look back on when our kids where growing up and all the good neighbours the Mertons included. We hope her Children can look back on all the happy memories she brought. I would just like to say Hi to her Brothers and Sisters that I remember dearly.
