Obituary of Holly Jo Floen

If the world seems a bit more colorful and the flowers in your garden are flourishing this late summer, it’s because heaven gained another beautiful angel on Thursday, Aug. 22, 2019. Holly Floen, 55 of Silver Bay, passed away after an 11 month, four day courageous battle with cancer.

Holly is the daughter of Ronald and Ruby Goutermont of Silver Bay. She spent her childhood exploring the many acres of woods at her parents’ home, and playing make believe with her two sisters, Heidi and Tracy. Holly enjoyed spending her days alongside the love of her life, Steve Floen. Grandchildren meant the world to her as well as her two boys. She loved many things. Gardening, shopping until she dropped, and meeting the many customers during her more than 25 years as a server in the hospitality industry.

Holly was preceded in death by her grandparents, Herman and Alice Mann, Ray and Ethyl Goutermont and infant brother Brett Scott. She is survived by her husband Steve Floen, sons Brandon (Heather), Brett (Justin), stepson Nathan (Molly) and stepdaughter Nikki (Guy). Holly also leaves behind her parents, Ronald and Ruby Goutermont, sisters Heidi (Allen), Tracy (David), many nephews and nieces and countless family members and friends. Holly will continue to look after her grandchildren Eastyn, Aiden, and Kinley.

As requested by Holly, a celebration of life will take place Sunday, September 8 from 12:00 – 4:00 p.m. at the Silver Bay Reunion Hall. Holly’s family would like to invite everyone who was touched by her grace to attend. A special thank you to the staff at St. Luke’s Hospital for providing the utmost professional and heartfelt care.
