Molly Holgate Obituary

In loving memory of Molly Holgate, October 26, 1983 - February 10, 2025

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Molly Holgate, whose joyful spirit and radiant smile brought warmth to everyone she met. Born on October 26, 1983 in Eau Claire, WI. Molly's playful nature, teasing humor, and infectious personality made all who knew her feel loved and valued.

Molly's love for life shone through her passion for music and creativity. With a beautiful voice, she brought joy through singing and melody. She embraced fun, freedom, and cherished time with family and friends. Her artistic spirit thrived in arts and crafts, where she lovingly created pieces that reflected her warmth and care.

As a devoted family member, Molly's love was unconditional, and her forgiveness was a testament to her kind heart. She was always there to support and uplift those she loved.

Molly's legacy of joy, laughter, and love will live on in the hearts of her family and friends. She will be deeply missed but never forgotten.

Molly is survived by her mother, Marilyn Gavlas; father, Willard Holgate; brothers, Diedrich Holgate and Todd Holgate; sisters, Amy Holgate and Kaiia McCurry. She is preceded in death by her brother, Mason Holgate.

A celebration of life will be held in Molly's honor this summer at Lake Altoona in Eau Claire, WI. More details will be shared as plans are finalized. For more information, please contact [email protected].
