Special to The Chronicle

Judie Holcomb-Pack, For Seniors Only editor and writer, recently received the top award for her short story, “Rose Tokens,” in the North Carolina Senior Games/SilverArts literary competition.

Earlier she had won first place in the Piedmont Games SilverArts competition for her short story, as well as first place for a poem and an essay, allowing her to represent Forsyth County in the State games.

Holcomb-Pack retired from Crisis Control Ministry as its PR and Marketing Consultant in 2014 and then joined The Chronicle as part-time editor and writer for For Seniors Only. She had worked for The Chronicle in the mid-90s as Special Sections Coordinator.

Holcomb-Pack has also written a children’s book, “Snickers’ Nine Lives,” that will be published soon by Indigo Sea Press.

“I urge all seniors to write, whether it’s a journal, poem or story,” says Holcomb-Pack. “We all have so many stories inside us just waiting for an opportunity to be released to the world!”
