Adjournment May 22, 2007
On this day the Board of Supervisors adjourned this meeting in honor of Jean Elkins Holmes
March 17, 1921 - April 24, 2007 Resident of Lafayette Jean E. Holmes, age 86, died on April 24,
2007, of congestive heart failure. Jean was born March 17, 1921, in Salt Lake City, Utah. On
November 19, 1941, Jean married Richard F. Holmes in the LDS Salt Lake Temple. They lived
10 years in Saudi Arabia before returning to settle in Lafayette, CA, where she lived the last 47
years. Jean's three siblings preceded her in death. Survivors include husband Richard F. Holmes;
and five children, Janet(Elvoid)Nelson, Richard E. Holmes, Victoria(Lloyd)Mack, Cindi
Teichert (Richard DeRosa) and Alice Holmes (Geordie McKee); and twelve grandchildren and
one great grandchild. Jean will be remembered for her infectious laugh, terrific sense of humor
and unwavering devotion to family(with an especially keen interest in her grandchildren).
Everyone who knew her recognized her strong will, integrity and emotional stability. She was a
meticulous planner, whether designing her home, her many home improvement projects, or
planning the lives of family members! Jean leaves a legacy of love and has blessed us with her
values of truth, honesty and dedication. Her love and memory will remain in our hearts and
spirits forever - gently urging us to do our best and pursue our dreams. Graveside services were
held April 28th, at the Salt Lake City,Utah Cemetery. The family suggests a donation to the
