John Williams Holshouser November 21, 1934 - August 20, 2021
Born in Blowing Rock, Nov. 21, 1934, to Howard and Mabel Holshouser, John Williams Holshouser passed away Friday, Aug. 20, 2021, at Baptist Hospital in Winston-Salem.
John graduated from Davidson College in 1959, with a major in Psychology and a minor in Spanish. Additionally, he studied Commercial Art in Pittsburgh, Pa., and was in the U.S. Army at Fort Jackson, S.C. He oversaw the graphic arts department and commercial printing for various companies during his career — Gulf States, Lithoplates, Waldorf, and Champion. Local businesses sought him out regularly for logos, designs, and other art projects on a contract basis.
He married Elizabeth "Izzie" Jarrett Jan. 26, 1957. They made their home in Newton, where they raised five daughters.
John was a member of First Presbyterian Church in Newton, where he and Izzie faithfully served in the choir. He volunteered for church projects, Habitat for Humanity, Meals on Wheels, and the Newton Depot restoration during his lifetime. An avid golfer, John had three holes-in-one to his credit and played many courses, Kiawah among his favorites. He was interested and invested in family history, followed the stock market closely, and enjoyed bird watching (and an occasional good cigar) on the screened in porch of his home.
John Williams Holshouser was preceded in death by his wife; parents; brother, Howard Holshouser Jr.; and sister, Mary Holshouser Johnson.
