Holly Deanne Lynch

In Memory of Holly Lynch

Holly Lynch has officially logged off — and no, it wasn’t the Wi-Fi. After a long, hard-fought journey, she passed away surrounded by those she loved most (and yes, that includes her dog Coen and cat Summer, who provided better emotional support than most humans).

A brilliant artist, Holly’s work was bold, witty, and 100% her — no filters, no apologies. She was also a lifelong gamer who built strong friendships online that helped her truly live, laugh, and throw a few sarcastic comments into every conversation.

Holly is survived by her parents Tim and Virginia, her brother Jeff, sister-in-law Kasey, and niece Lily, whom she adored beyond measure. In her final days, she saved her energy to make memories with Lily — because being an amazing aunt was kind of her thing.

She also leaves behind grandparents Ted and Charlotte Hess, and is preceded in death by grandparents Phillip and Sandy Lynch — who surely greeted her with love (and confusion about video games).

Her last words? “I want sushi.” Classic Holly.

She was deeply loved, deeply sarcastic, and completely unforgettable.
