Jean Holden – Hanna’s 75th Birthday Celebration:
Tribute to a Local Legend
Special to the Truth
Jean Holden, Toledo vocalist, voice teacher and mentor got
the surprise of her life in celebration of her 75th
birthday. Inviting over 150 people to a party for Toledo’s
First Lady of Song, that included family members from as far
away as California and Wisconsin, along with friends from
all over the area—and keeping it a surprise – was no easy
task for daughter Lisa Holden but the party was a huge
success. Toledo’s finest singers and musicians participated
in the festivities that took place at Ye Olde Durty Bird in
downtown Toledo, one of Holden’s favorite eating spots.
The afternoon was a musical extravaganza filled with love,
laughter, and a good time. One of her biggest surprises was
seeing her son Jerry. Holden expressed, “Although,
my son Jerry and I have phone conversations probably every
other day and often two or three times a day as well as
Skype, this was the first time he has held me in his arms,
since October, 2011.” |
