She  grew up in the Eugene/Springfield area, graduating from Thurston High School in 2001 and taking classes at Lane Community and Pioneer Pacific Colleges.  Holly struggled with severe health problems her entire life that  limited what she could do, but she was a very faithful and trusted caretaker for her sister Heidi’s kids.

Holly passed away October 27, 2009 at McKenzie-Willamette Hospital in Springfield from respiratory failure.  She was 26.

She leaves behind father and and step-mother Donald and Jamie Eisel ; step-parents Richard and Verdene McGlaughlin; grandparents Don and Betty Eisel, Barbara and John Reeves, Richard and Carol Clayton and Lorene “Granny” Virgo; sisters Heidi Markham, Rachel Eisel and Sarah Eisel; step-brothers Greg and Randy McGlaughlin and step-sister Kathi Aguilar.  She was preceded in death by her mom, Theresa Clayton; brother Chad McGlaughlin and step-brother Jason McLaughlin.

Holly will be greatly missed.  A memorial for her will be held at Wayside Chapel, 5297 B Street  in Springfield on November 7th at 3pm.  Contributions in her memory may be made to “The Memorial For Holly Eisel”, in care of any Oregon Community Credit Union office.

HOLLY’S POEM
She is quiet and kind,
Appearing in Any Form.
These are only an illusion.
 
She is truly a female angel
Of Fair skin and Violet eyes
With wings the color of snow, 
Stretching skyward.
 
She has no secrets
To tell the world beyond
 
Her punishment is to be away from the light.
 
  

 

A Time for Everything
There is a time for everything,
and a season for every activity under heaven:
a time to be born and a time to die,
a time to plant and a time to uproot,
a time to kill and a time to heal,
a time to tear down and a time to build,
a time to weep and a time to laugh,
a time to mourn and a time to dance,
a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them,
a time to embrace and a time to refrain,
a time to search and a time to give up,
a time to keep and a time to throw away,
a time to tear and a time to mend,
a time to be silent and a time to speak,
a time to love and a time to hate,
a time for war and a time for peace.

  

YOU ARE MY SUNSHINE:
You Are My Sunshine
My only sunshine.
You make me happy
When skies are grey.
You’ll never know, dear,
How much I love you.
Please don’t take my sunshine away

   

The other night dear
As I lay sleeping
I dreamt I held you in my arms
When I awoke dear
I was mistaken
And I held
My head and cried

    I went to high school with Holly and wanted to express my condolences and sorrow at your loss. I pray that the Lord will be with you in your time of mourning.

    I would love to attend Holly’s memorial service if at all possible and know that many others are wanting to also.

    I had the pleasure of meeting your daughter after I moved back Oregon. She was often a guest of my son Robert Wear and my daughter Michelle Wear, She was always a joy to have in my home.
    Holly always had a smile on her face, we all enjoyed her so much. The only light in all this is that we know she has gone to be with our Heavenly Father and she is no longer hampered by her illness. You should be proud of her she was a wonderful girl I enjoyed counter as one of our family. God Bless, Carol Hansen
