Elizabeth Hollinder

Elizabeth Hollinder, 32, went to be with the Lord on Nov. 23.

She was born in Pasco on Aug. 14, 1984, but was a longtime resident of Port Orchard. Elizabeth was a 2005 graduate of South Kitsap High School. She loved her community dearly and could be seen enjoying many local events, including concerts, fairs, parades and other holiday festivities. Other hobbies included music, travel, casinos, and attending Rainiers baseball games.

For 10 years, she worked with Peninsula Services in The Gift Garden. She also competed in the Special Olympics in swimming, bowling, basketball, track and baseball.

Elizabeth had a flair for the dramatic and would often act out scenes from her favorite tv shows. Elizabeth had a great love of life and people. She made friends easily with her outgoing personality and her humor. Her gentle smile, laughter and hugs will be greatly missed by all who knew her.

She was easy to love, impossible to forget and will forever be in our hearts. Memorial services will be at 11 a.m. on Friday, Dec. 2 at Rill Chapel in Port Orchard. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made in Elizabeth’s name to The Holly Ridge Center at Givens Community Center.
