Irene "Winnie" Hollands (nee Maiorano) passed away peacefully on July 3, 2018, at the age of 95. Born on April 26, 1923, to Michelangelo and Angiolamaria she
grew up on Main Street, Nyack and attended St. Ann's and Nyack Schools. After marrying, she returned to Main Street to raise her two children and care for her father.

She is pre-deceased by her beloved husband of 69 years, Robert Hollands, Sr., and her siblings Joseph Maiorano, Anna Bindewald, Minnie Wamsley, Mary Bosco, Michael Maiorano, Reginald Maiorano, and Amelia Longo.
