Scholarship History: was established in June, 2014 by friends & family of Holly Martin, who was a
victim of domestic violence. Here is what her family has to say: "Domestic Violence is a very important
issue that many people are not aware of. Domestic Violence can come in many different forms, whether
it be emotional or physical abuse, and it takes place in many homes. Because of one domestic violence
act, April 5, 2011 is a day our family will never forget. One choice and one action changed our lives
forever. Holly was a very "Special Person", and an excellent nurse. Holly loved people - and everyone
loved her. She was full of energy and life, and loved helping people. Hardly a day went by, that someone
would tell us, Holly took care of me today. She was so caring, and sweet. She worked at Heritage Park
Surgical Center in Sherman, TX. She received her Nursing Degree with her BSN at UT Arlington in
1999. She had one son. Her sister and husband adopted him, and now he has two sisters. He is so much
like her, hardheaded and all. We hope this Scholarship in her memory will help others to become nurses,
and help us as Holly's family to keep her love for nursing going, and her memory."

Scholarship History: was established in 1999 by Jim & Jacqueline Mehaffey of Sherman, Texas in
memory of Jim's parents. This scholarship is awarded each year, with "first preference" to a graduate of

qualified recipient selected by the GC Foundation Scholarship Commitee. These funds may be used
toward tuition, fees, textbooks or necessary classroom supplies (purchased from Campus Bookstore) to
assist students with financial need as they attend Grayson College. ***The Story of "TOAD"*** R.C.
(Rodolph Claude) Mehaffey was born on a very cold day - and very prematurely, on 2/12/29 in Gorman,
TX. He was so small, that his crib was made out of an old shoe box, which his mother put on the oven
door of their old cook stove to keep him warm; according to story...when Elizabeth Mehaffey saw her
son for the first time, he was so tiny she said "That doesn't even look like a baby - it looks more like a
TOAD!" and so...the name stuck, and she (and only she) called him Toad the rest of his life! Pauline was
the twin sister of Paul; their father was Wiley Rufus Eppler, who was one of 7 brothers who participated
in the Oklahoma Land Run. There are 4 generations of Mehaffeys buried in the Gorman, TX
cemetery....they have long been strong supporters of higher education. In the words of Mr. R.C.
Mehaffey , "The only good you get out of life is the good you do for other people." Jim & Jacqueline
Mehaffey wish to perpetuate that philosophy by encouraging the recipients of the "R.C. & Pauline Eppler
Mehaffey" to follow their example, and at some point in the future when they are able, to continue to do
good by helping Grayson College students with their educational expenses.
