Martha “Marty” Holden

1948 – 2025

Marty was one of those invaluable persons who never wanted to be on stage, but loved working behind the scenes. Another one of SLOC’ unsung heroes.

Marty and her husband Bruce were recipients of the Thema Gallery of Honor Award. They were also sponsors of the company.
