Anne was a graduate of Tower Hill School, attended Hobart College and graduated from the University of Delaware. She also studied at the Center for Addiction Studies at Harvard Medical School.

She is the daughter of the late John E. Flaherty and Alice Meeds Flaherty. She is survived by her brother, Jay Flaherty, of Chestnut Hill, PA., her sisters; Alice Long, of Greenville, DE., Ellen Brothers, of Ocean Ridge, FL., Katherine Flaherty, of Washington, D.C., and Mary Thompson, of Charlotte, NC.

Holly was a gentle soul with many talents. She was a gifted athlete, artistic, creative and intelligent. Holly loved Lilly Pulitzer and the vibrant colors of pink and turquoise. Most of all she adored her cats, Emily, Nicky and Leelee.

Life is going to be a little less bright without Holly and her warm and engaging smile. We will miss her.
