CHALTON – Eileen (Duncan) Holt, 90, died peacefully on January 3, 2013, surrounded by her loving family.
Her husband of 57 years, Howard, died in 2004. From 1954-1977, Eileen and Howard lived in Auburn, MA, and then retired to FL until 2007. Most recently, she lived in the Overlook Community in Charlton, MA.
