Obituary For Holly Maxine McKenna

Madison-Holly M. McKenna, age 49 passed away on Tuesday, December 27, 2016. She was born in Madison, WI on December 12, 1967, the daughter of Thomas W. and Maxine (Herfel) McKenna. Holly had a beautiful smile and quick laugh and approached life a day at a time with an open and loving heart. Holly deeply loved her family and friends and her open heart gave her the ability to reserve judgement on those she met along her journey through life. Holly truly loved animals, especially her rescue cat Peepers and took great care and diligence nursing Peepers back to health. Holly was loved dearly by her family and will be forever missed.

Holly is survived by her mother, Maxine (Mike) Bartosch; siblings, Thomas McKenna, Gina (Timm) Minor and Michael (Mandy) McKenna; nieces and nephews, Katie, Breah, Erica, Hailey, Jake and Logan; and great nephew, Landon.

She was preceded in death by her father, Thomas W. McKenna; and her grandparents, Andrew and Glenice Herfel and Thomas and Helen McKenna.

A Memorial Service will be held at 12pm on Monday, January 2, 2017 at RYAN FUNERAL HOME, 2418 N Sherman Ave, Madison. A visitation will be held at the funeral home from 11am until the time of service.

A special thanks to Terri O’Donnell and Claudia Greco for the support they provided Holly. Also a special thank you to WisCARES for their kindness and generosity. To view and sign this guestbook, please visit: www.ryanfuneralservice.com.

what our families say

Tiffany Foster went out of her way to fulfill all my requests, talked me through problems I was facing, and tried to make me feel as comfortable as possible when I was a wreck, totally crushed, and I thank her with all of my heart for that.

The professional manner of the staff made a difficult time a little easier.

Services provided for both parents were perfect, on time, and no issues. Brenda is awesome and strong!

Michael M. | July 2020

Skyler was absolutely amazing. She was so caring and helpful through this whole process. She even went above and beyond to meet with us in DeForest and even to make a stop at our home to drop off or pick up anything needed. While it was a small gesture, it was so helpful and greatly appreciated.
