Helen Louise (Froelich) Holt was born in Gridley, Illinois, on August 16, 1913, to parents, William and Edna Froelich. Even
at a young age, Helen Holt displayed academic potential, being advanced from the second to third grade, and this excellence
was further demonstrated by Helen Holt's selection as class president and later valedictorian of her graduating class.
After high school she attended Stephens College in Columbia, Missouri, where she received an AA degree in 1932. To further
her education, Helen Holt applied to Northwestern University in Evanston, Illinois, where she was inducted into the Delta
Delta Delta sorority. While attending Northwestern University, Helen Holt maintained a high grade point average, and she graduated
in 1934 with a BA in Biology and a minor in Anthropology. Soon after receiving her degree, Helen Holt was offered a position
at Stephens College Science Division to first help establish a library and then to assist students and teachers with research
or as needed. This experience led to Helen Holt's first published work, Function of a Science Divisional Library. In 1936,
Helen Holt was encouraged to attend the Marine Biological Laboratory, an institution for research and education, in Woods
Hole, Massachusetts. During this time (1935-1937) she also completed graduated work in connection with the University of Missouri
in Columbia Missouri. After attending the Marine Biological Laboratory where she was able to interact with other students
and well-known professors, Helen Holt decided it best to further her education at the graduate level; thus, she applied for
a teaching fellowship in Zoology at Northwestern University. She was accepted and began her courses during the 1937 summer
term and graduated in 1938. In addition to earning her MS, Helen Holt completed graduate work in conjunction with the University
of North Carolina, Chapel Hill in 1956.
After graduating with her MS degree, Helen Holt was hired for a position at National Park College in Washington, D.C., where
she taught several Science courses from 1938-1941. It was during this time that she was introduced to the youngest member
of the United States Senate, Rush Dew Holt of West Virginia, by Helen's friend and Rush's sister, Jane (Holt) Chase. They
were married a year after they met, and the couple moved to West Virginia in 1941. Two children were born to the couple: Helen
Jane Holt (1945) and Rush Dew Holt, Jr. (1948). When Rush Holt, Sr.'s sister died in 1952, the couple adopted her son, David.
During this period Helen Holt described herself as a homemaker, but she was later involved with her husband's campaigns and
even served as an unpaid assistant in Rush Holt's Charleston office. This initial involvement in government, however, was
only the beginning of Helen Holt's own political career.
In 1955 after the death of her husband, Helen Holt was appointed by Governor William C. Marland to fulfill her late husband's
term in the West Virginia House of Delegates, and she was later elected as a delegate to the 1956 Republican National Convention.
After the legislative session ended in March, 1956, Helen Holt accepted a recently-vacated teaching position at Greenbrier
College which would prove to be only temporary. In 1957, after the death of Secretary of State D. Pitt O'Brian, Governor Cecil
H. Underwood appointed Helen Holt to fill the position, making Helen Holt the first woman to hold the office in West Virginia
history. Wishing to remain secretary of state, Helen Holt ran against Joe F. Burdett in 1958 but lost. Despite the unsuccessful
campaign, Helen Holt continued to break the gender barrier, becoming the first woman appointed to serve as Assistant Commissioner
of Public Institutions in West Virginia (served from 1959-1960) and later the first woman to serve as a trustee on the Board
of the National Presbyterian Church in Washington, D.C.
In 1960 Helen Holt received a presidential appointment from Dwight D. Eisenhower to serve as Special Assistant to the Commissioner
of the Federal Housing Administration for Nursing Homes Program (1960-1974). During the administration of President Richard
M. Nixon, Helen Holt was considered for the position of United States treasurer, but despite numerous letters of recommendation
from politicians and prominent individuals, the position was offered to John B. Connelly, Jr. Nevertheless, Helen Holt continued
to succeed, and in 1974 the Department of Housing and Urban Development appointed her to serve as assistant to the secretary
for programs for the elderly and the handicapped (1974-1983).
In 1983 after twenty-three years of government service, Helen Holt retired, but she remained active in women's organizations
(including the Washington Business and Professional Women's Clubs, the Association of University Women, and the National League
of Pen Women) and in church groups sponsored by the National Presbyterian Church in Washington, D.C. In addition to the numerous
positions and honors bestowed upon Helen Holt during her political career, including being chosen as West Virginia Daughter
of the Year by the West Virginia Society of Washington, D.C. in 1957 and being elected as president of the same society in
1960 and again serving as president from 1965-1966, she was awarded one of her greatest distinctions in 2013 when she received
an honorary doctorate from West Virginia University.
Helen Holt passed away on July 12, 2015.
