Kelley Jude Hoellrich

Kelley Jude Hoellrich, 53, of Rockbridge, Ohio, passed away on Tuesday, March 5, 2024, at the Ohio State University Medical Center, Columbus. She was born April 13, 1970, in Sandusky, Ohio, the daughter of Diane Louise (Heilman) Schaefer and the late Raymond Anthony Schaefer. Kelley was married to Eric Hoellrich who survives.

Many people are said to be amazing after they die but Kelley really, truly was. She was a 1988 graduate of Perkins High School. She was an accomplished athlete, becoming a varsity letterman on the Bowling Green State University dive team. She was a dedicated mother helping raise three daughters to become teachers, scientists, and business professionals. She found a profession as computer programmer analyst before devoting 20 years to the Logan Hocking school district, where she held various positions.

Kelley lived life to the fullest, from traveling the world to attending trivia nights with her friends and family. She was truly a kind and generous soul, always putting others’ needs before her own. Her love and compassion extended to all who knew her. She will be deeply and endlessly missed. She was loved more than she could possibly know.

In addition to her husband and mother, Kelley is survived by her daughters, Mikaela Hoellrich, Emma Hoellrich, and Caitlin Hoellrich; and brother, Derek (Dawn) Schaefer of Perrysburg, Ohio.

Kelley was preceded in death by her father; paternal grandparents, Raymond & Jeanne Schaefer; and maternal grandparents, Patricia & Louis Heilman.
