Great Falls Friends and Neighbors members recall how the late Holly Kuga brought boundless energy, writing ability and marketing skills to the clubâs projects.
Kuga, 72, who died Dec. 6 following a vehicle collision on Leesburg Pike in the McLean/Great Falls area, was âwarm, generous and loving to all,â said former club board member Sally-Anne Andrew Pyne. âWe were uplifted by her wise and intelligent conversation, and we were comforted by her empathetic listening and thoughtful advice.â
Kuga, a Great Falls resident, actively supported the clubâs scholarship fund, which gives financial assistance to female college students, and did public-relations work for two of the organizationâs successful fund-raisers, the Bridge Jamboree and fashion show.
