Maria Elena Holly, the widow of Buddy Holly, has signed a deal to allow her husband’s name, Buddy Holly, and his image, to be used at the Buddy Holly center at 19th and Buddy Holly Avenue. Maria Holly will be honored with the new mini park called the “Buddy and Maria Elena Holly Plaza.”

The City Hall of Lubbock will pay $20,000 for the 20 year rights to use Buddy Holly’s name. That works out to $83.33 monthly.

Buddy Holly died at 22 in a plane crash in 1959.
