Quitizia Holmes

Quitiza Lashonder Holmes, affectionately known as "Q" and "Tiza", was a lifelong resident of Springfield, MA. She proudly obtained her GED and later attended various classes at Springfield Technical Community College. In 2003, Quitiza was employed by Stavros as a personal care associate, a role in which she provided compassionate care to individuals with disabilities and chronic conditions in the comfort of their homes. While she had various jobs over the years, she was most proud of her time at Stavros.

Quitiza had a wide range of interests and hobbies that showcased her vibrant personality. She loved crocheting, singing, coloring, puzzles, working out, and attending church. Her colorful hairstyles, unique outfits, and playful energy were truly a reflection of her lively spirit. While some may have perceived her as shy or timid, she was quite outspoken, especially when advocating and standing up for herself. A quality she will be remembered for.

May Quitiza always be remembered for her love of PINK, her compassionate spirit, and quirky personality. She is truly missed by all who knew her.
