I never knew of Holly´s passing for more than a year after.
Holly was my provider and she was the best provider I´ve ever had. We talked, she listened, she was up front about things. I tried to track her down when she left DHC but could never find where she went.
May your beautiful family you spoke of keep sweet memories alive.
You are definitely missed by many.

I just came across this article for the first time and I'm so sad. Holly was a wonderful Nurse Practitioner. When she left DHC, I lost track of her and couldn't find where she ended up. My condolences to her family.
RIP beautiful lady.

I was looking to see where Holly had moved to (so I could follow) and found this notice. It's an utterly heartbreaking loss. I, too, was lucky to have Holly as my PCP for years. She was an absolutely beautiful person, inside and out. I've never had such a caring medical provider and I'm sure I never will again. My sincere condolences to her family....May she, her partner and puppy rest in peace...

Holly was my PCP at DHMC for several years. Her thoughtfulness, care, and understanding was second to none. She helped me through one of the roughest patches in my life. Her words are some that I will never forget and will continue to pass on. Thank you Holly, rest peacefully.

I had seen Holly for YEARS as a patient At Dartmouth Hitchcock. I was patiently waiting for her to accept Anthem as an insurance for her private practice. I am now going through Annual enrollment, and just sent her a message through linked in. While doing a search of her practice, I discovered she had passed, and started crying. I have NEVER had a physician as caring, loving and down to earth as she was !! Her demeanor and the kind of patient friendship relationship, will never be replaced. I am heartbroken! My deepest late condolences to her family !!

I had reached out recently, and became worried when I did not hear back. I spoke to her back in July and I am so saddened by this news. She´s been my doctor since I can´t even remember one... And I followed her when she made the bold decision to start her own practice.

Holly was sweet, kind and caring woman. We had so many conversations and she spoke so fondly of her daughter. My heart is broken for her family. I trusted her as a doctor, but considered her friend.

Holly was my PCP at Dartmouth Hitchcock, and I too, was heartbroken when she left the practice, but I understood why, and respected her for it- she took the time with you, you were not just an appointment but a real person with real health concerns- she was one in a million, and is greatly missed... my thoughts an d prayers to her children and friends, we were all blessed to have known her.

I echo the sentiments of other patients of Holly's, that a visit with her was like re-connecting with a long-time friend. She made you feel like your health was her top priority and visits with her never felt rushed. I was so disappointed when she left D-H, and I am heartbroken to learn of her tragic passing. Sending heartfelt condolences to her family and friends.

Holly was my PCP at D/H. I was heartbroken when told she was no longer there. But I respected her immensely when I found out the reason. I called her at her new practice to wish her luck. She was a superb communicator and made me feel sooo comfortable. I once gave her a hug at the end of my appointment. It shows just how awesome she was. She'll be so missed.
