Kelly Marie Broach

Kelly Marie Broach passed away peacefully Friday, December 13th, 2024. She was born October 23rd, 1968 in Lebanon, IN to Donna Deardorff and Robert “Bob” White. Preceded in death by her father, she leaves to mourn her passing, a loving spouse, Rob Hollinger; mother Donna; step-father (aka daddy-type guy) Robert “Bob” Deardorff; step-daughter, Chloe Hollinger; two sisters; Teresa Shoemaker, and Crystal Broach, niece, Ashley Lane (Vansickle); her canine son; Brody, and many other loving family members and friends.

Kelly Broach Hollinger was an amazing woman who’s light and compassion knew no bounds. She’d never met a stranger and always found the best in people. She genuinely loved with her whole heart and lived life to the fullest.

She loved laughing, sharing funny stories, and just being silly. She loved a good theme party, and to play cards with Rob and Crystal. She loved sharing recipes with Donna and Ashley. She loved shopping and decorating. She was simply beautiful inside and out. She loved being a step-mom to Chloe. Most of all, she loved Jesus Christ, and would tell everyone that He is the source of her light. If you have not given Him a chance, please do so for Kelly’s sake.

She was a Barbie doll who always dressed up with a great outfit, 6 inch high heels or wedges (no flats ever), tan stuff, nails, and lashes. She would light up every room she walked into. Her light will continue to shine for all the people her sweet spirit has touched. She was so kind, thoughtful, and had a special way of building up everyone around her, always making people feel special.

Kelly was an organ and tissue donor, allowing her light to carry on in the 70+ people that will receive her gifts of life.
