SHIRLEY HOLLENBACH Obituary

SPIKE ISLAND - Shirley Hollenbach, 79, of Spike Island, passed away peacefully in her home on Friday, Oct. 14, 2022.

Shirley moved to Osceola from Virginia Beach, where she had been employed by Haynes Furniture, Papco Oil and also owned her own business named Hoagies. She was an avid gardener, artist and loved buying an old home and making it beautifully and perfectly hers.

She had an impeccable sense of style that was found in everything she touched. Shirley also enjoyed being on board of the historical society and donated many family heirlooms to the museum. She loved the beach, the mountains and spending time with her children and grandchildren.

Shirley was predeceased by her parents, Frank and Helen (Petlikowski) Raftovich; and her brother, Frank J. Raftovich also of Spike Island.

She is survived by her daughters, Tracy Martin and husband Geoff of Virginia Beach, Va., and Hether Kaczorowski and husband Daniel; and grandchildren, Dexter Kaczorowski and Zander Brown Kaczorowski of Spike Island.

A celebration of life is planned at Shirley's home on Saturday, Nov. 12 from 2-4 p.m. Heath Funeral Home & Cremation Services, Osceola Mills is handling arrangements.

I was Shirley´s neighbor for quite a few years...I was always amazed at the projects she did on the house after she moved in. She wasn´t afraid to tackle anything.
