Holly R. Boniphant

Holly Renee Boniphant, age 62, passed away at her residence on Saturday, June 10, 2023 surrounded by the love and comfort of her family. She is preceded in death by her parents, Jerry and Mary Ann (Burke) Boniphant. She is survived by her husband of 5 years, Robert Jeltes, daughters, Hailey Gurvis, Chelsea (Eric Bauer) Gurvis, grandchildren, Emery Bauer, Quinn Bauer, along with her dearest friends. Holly’s most important purpose, dedication in life, and joy was to be a mother and grandmother. Her zest for life and passion for spontaneous adventures led her to travel across the world. She fulfilled her lifelong dream of living on a catamaran sailboat during the winter seasons, sailing with her husband, Robert, through the Caribbean islands and eventually settling down in the Florida Keys. During the warmer seasons at her home in Ohio, she loved to be outdoors and walk through nature reserves with her dogs. She had a true green thumb, as showcased by her beautiful and pristine flower gardens. Holly had a deep love for horses and was an incredible equestrian rider for many decades. A memorial service will be held for Holly at 12:00 PM on Friday, June 23 at Franklin Park Conservatory and Botanical Gardens (The Grove rooftop garden) with Mark Dettmer, Celebrant. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made in Holly’s name to the Pelotonia Forward Fund at https://www.pelotonia.org/donate. Arrangements by Schoedinger Grove City.
