Holly G. Cadam

Holly Cadam, 65, passed away peacefully at her home on September 20, 2025. She was born on December 16, 1959, to Connie and Alva Miller, who preceded her in death.

A 1978 graduate of Riley High School in South Bend, Indiana, Holly pursued her passion for design and became a talented Master Floral Designer. She was admired for her creativity, dedication, and her gift for bringing beauty into the lives of others.

Holly was a devoted wife and was preceded in death by her first husband, Tom Gulbranson, in 2013, and her second husband, Mike Cadam, in 2021. She was also preceded in death by her daughter, Jana Rae, who passed away at birth, and her stepson, Joe Street of Colorado, who passed away in 2023.

She is survived by her two sons, Michael (Janine) Gulbranson of Clermont, Florida, and Brandon (Jenny Geissler) Gulbranson of South Bend, Indiana. Holly was a proud and loving grandmother to Hunter and Natalie Gulbranson, and to Makayla, Chloe, Faith Yancey, Kayne, and Skylar Gulbranson.

Her Christian faith was the foundation of her life. Holly lived by the words of Jesus and found joy in sharing His Gospel. She loved gathering family and friends together, always knowing that they were life's greatest treasures.

Holly will be remembered as a loving mother, grandmother, and friend-one who touched many lives with her kindness, creativity, and faith.

A graveside service will be held on Thursday, October 2, 2025, 1:00 p.m. at Marion National Cemetery, 1700 E. 38th Street, Marion, Indiana. Family and friends are welcome to attend the service; however, it was Holly's wish that no one wear black, but instead bright colors that celebrate who she was to us all. There will be no funeral home visitation. A celebration of life ceremony will be announced at a later date.

Palmer Funeral Home – Bubb Chapel, 3910 N. Main Street, Mishawaka is assisting the family.
