She leaves behind her daughter, Hollie Stillwell and son-in-law Enda Currid, daughter Kira Stillwell and granddaughter Byrn 'Honeybunch' Stillwell and her cousin Carl Healy. The family would especially like to thank Hopes longtime caregiver Rachel Welch.

Dear Kira and Hollie,
I was so sorry to read of your mother's journey to heaven. I had not seen her in many years, but remember her fondly. Kira, we have not kept on touch enough either. Please accept my condolances on the loss of your mother. My son Mike and his wife Chris Hendrick send their condolances also.
Love, Jeannette

Dear Holly and Kira, I am so sorry to hear of Happy's passing. Although we have not been able to keep in touch, Carl was nice enough to update me. Happy was an amazing presence and made a big impact on myself, and my daughters, Lyndsey and Lily. Please know that you are in my prayers.

Hope was one-of-a-kind! Memories of her delightful, spirited and tenacious way while we worked together at Ram Point Marina always makes me smile. Although I had not seen Hope in years, I'll still always carry those memories forward and tell some stories of her antics from those days past.
