Brenda Holman

Brenda Holman, age 76, of Ridgedale, Missouri, passed away in her home on April 1, 2026. She was born on May 25, 1949, in Prairie Grove, Arkansas, to Leonard James and Wilma Dean Caswell.
Brenda is survived by her husband Thomas Holman, one son Chris Bradley (Kerry), one daughter Tara Stathakis (Thom), three step-children Katie Davis (Blake), Annie Kratkiewicz (Brian), Matthew Holman (Jesalyn), one brother Wayne Caswell (Aletta), one sister Lisa Hatfield, and her loving grandchildren Lola, Leo, Lex, and Lincoln Bradley, Lauren Odom (Blake), Max Roeder (Maddie), Katie (Walker) and Drew Stathakis, William and Warren Davis, Jackson, Shanon and Kit Kratkiewicz, Rowan Holman, and many cousins, nieces and nephews.
She was preceded in death by her parents, one brother Pete Caswell and one sister Pam Reed.
Brenda was the consummate mother and grandmother, known for a warm kitchen, a wonderful meal, and a calming voice that could steady any room.  Outside of her role at home, her life’s work was as a bookkeeper for various companies, including the custom home building business she and her husband built and ran together for more than 25 years. She was a member of Faith Lutheran Church quietly volunteering her talents to its ministry. Above all, Brenda was content in life because of her strong faith and her deep love of family, gifts she shared generously with everyone who knew her.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Faith Lutheran School.
