Holly Bush Obituary
Holly left this world at 3:00 a.m. on February 12, 2014, at the Hospicare Residence. She was met at Heaven's Gate by her dad, Albert F. Kelly and her grandparents, Fred & Mabel Inman and William & Frances Kelly and her cousin, Kevin Oltz. She is survived by her mother, Lois Kelly of Ithaca; siblings, Kandi (Dave) Linn of Trumansburg, Heather (Tim) Myers of Lansing, Tim (Donna) Kelly of Charleston, SC, Kim (Mary) Kelly of Lansing and Fred (Sandy Waterman) Kelly of Ithaca; her uncle, Dick (Shirley) Inman of Lansing; aunts, Wanda Gleason and Esther (Mike) Mitchell of Lansing; her special friend, Sue Mazza; and numerous nieces, nephews and cousins. She also had a special relationship with her nephew, Tommy Kelly and his fiancée, Tracey. Unable to have children of her own, she loved "Noonie" and "Pop" as her own children. She also leaves behind her beloved MinPins, Billy, Mickey and Princess, cared for by her friend, Juan. Holly loved the outdoors and there will be a celebratory campfire and picnic in her honor in the spring. We will all raise our "Red Solo Cups" to the skies and give a toast to her as that is what she wished. Calling hours will be on Monday, February 17, from 1-2 p.m. at the Herson Wagner Funeral Home, 110 S. Geneva St., Ithaca. Services will follow with Major Ronald Lugiano officiating. Donations, in lieu of flowers, may be made to the SPCA of Tompkins County, 1640 Hanshaw Rd., Ithaca, NY 14850.

Holly had a lot of spirit, and was a real fighter! We had many laughs over at Juan's; lots of coffee, and great conversations! Holly had a big heart, loved animals, cared for everyone around her, and at the same time could chew through a concrete wall and look good doing it! I will miss you Holly, but I also know that your spirit will always be around.
