Mark Hollinger Obituary
Hollinger, 57
DOVER, DE - It is with immense sadness that we announce the passing of Mark Thomas Hollinger on Saturday, February 18, 2023.
Mark was born July 22, 1965, to parents Audrey Rigby and the late Thomas Hollinger in Dover, Delaware. After graduating from Caesar Rodney in 1984, he went on to obtain a Bachelor's Degree in Accounting from Wesley College in 1988.
Mark worked as a CFO for over 34 years. He started his career at The Placers Inc., an employment and staffing agency located in Christina, followed by Mike Famous Harley- Davidson, and Air Base Carpet & Tile, both headquartered in New Castle, Delaware. He then advanced his career at Goodwill, before returning to The Placers Inc.
In his free time, Mark devoted twenty years to the Camden Fire Company. Mark loved history, traveling and staying in upscale hotels, antiquing, watching the sunrise, spending time with his kids and grandkids (Liam & Chloe), helping people, any and all things Batman, going to sporting events and supporting his favorite football team, the Dolphins.
Mark is survived by his loving fiancé, Maureen Barry; his former wife, Karen Hollinger, and their children, Brian (Erica), Colin, Lauren, and Allison; his life long best friend, Gus Gerontakos. The loss of Mark is immense as there was never a more loving and caring son, friend, and father. His passing has left a hole in the hearts of all who loved him. He will be endlessly missed, but his love will continue to sustain all he touched.
Family and friends are invited to the memorial service at 11 am and friends may call at 10 am on Monday, February 27, 2023 at the Trader's Funeral Home, located at 12 Lotus St., Dover, DE 19901.

I worked with Mark @ Placers1.0. I cannot recall a more KIND, meek & CONSISTENT person, in my career. My prayers go out to his entire family. Especially, his children and grandchildren. God Bless

I was blessed to have Mark on my Little League team and we stayed in touch throughout the years, not as much as we should have. My thoughts and prayers are with his family as our FATHER welcomes him home. RIP my friend
