Elizabeth “Liz” Hollo, age 76, of Chelsea, Michigan, passed away peacefully at her home surrounded by her family on December 29, 2021. She was born on January 21, 1945 in Augusta, Georgia, the daughter of Chafee and Dorothy (Claffey) Whilden.

Liz had lived in the Chelsea area since 1978, moving from Midland. She was deeply involved in the Chelsea Community for many years, where she lovingly raised her family. She worked as a nurse for Chelsea Community Hospital in the head/pain unit for over 25 years, and was a faithful member of St. Mary Catholic Church, where she sang in the choir and loved participating in the Lenten Fish Fry events. In addition, she was very involved with campaigning for the installation of Knights of Columbus State Council officers. Liz was one of those individuals who always did for others. She enjoyed traveling, shopping, and spending time with her family and friends, especially her children and grandchildren.

Liz married Richard A. Hollo on June 10, 1967, and he survives. Also surviving are their four children, Michael Hollo of Arizona, Michele (Scott) Almassy of Ohio, Meagan (Justin) Evans of North Carolina, and Matthew Hollo of Plymouth; two grandchildren, Ryan and Kyle; brother, William (Diane) Whilden of Alabama, and brother-in-law, William “Billy” Mitchell of Georgia.
