Stephen "Steve" W. Jolly of Honey Brook, formerly of East Lansdowne, passed away peacefully Monday, November 11, 2024 following a brief illness with his wife, Carol and daughter Jessica by his side. Born August 27, 1956, he was the son of the late Walter F. Jolly and the late Margaret S. Jolly.
Steve graduated from Lansdowne-Aldan High School in 1974 and completed the vo-tech automotive program. Following graduation, Steve worked in the technical trade which included O'Brien's Machinery Company in Downingtown, Pennsylvania and most recently, Carrier Rental Systems in Bear, Delaware. Steve had a knack for fixing things and enjoyed completing many "do it yourself" projects including gardening and home improvement. He was a fan of NASCAR and the Philadelphia Eagles. Steve had a pleasant demeanor, was willing to go out of his way to help others, and was always jolly.
Steve is survived by his wife of 45 years, Carol, his daughter Jessica Jolly (Willam Stevens,) son Justin Jolly, two grandchildren, brother David (Violet) Jolly, sister Karen (Jim) Rau, and brother Rick Jolly, many nieces and nephews, and family members.
