She also chaired the organising committee for the 31st BMUS annual meeting in 1999.

Despite her busy schedule, she found time to care for her adored family, friends and colleagues. Staff came to her with their troubles and she was also a committed member of her church. A school in Guatemala bears a permanent memorial in remembrance of the support and donations generated by Dr Hollman and her church.

Dr Hollman died in 1999 of small cell lung cancer aged 42. The Anne Hollman Medal was donated by Prof Dutton in her memory to encourage academic pursuits amongst young radiologists in Scotland. The prize is awarded annually at the SRS Autumn meeting for the best oral presentation by a radiology registrar.
