Holly was a strong, giving, and caring young woman who loved all creatures, great and small. She was an avid animal lover and enjoyed being outdoors. Holly was a 2015 graduate of Vandalia-Butler High School and was in her second year of studies at the University of Dayton.

Holly was blessed with an exceptional support system, including her “Aunt Eva” who became a fixture throughout Holly’s courageous five-year battle with cancer. Eva was Holly’s “person” and was with her for every hospital stay and each new challenge that arose. Holly and her family are grateful for the wonderful family and friends who have shared their love and support by providing exceptional care to sweet Nora throughout this journey. Holly was also blessed to have the best possible care at Nationwide Children’s Hospital in Columbus as well as the exceptional home care provided by Hospice of the Miami Valley.
