Marian Louise Hollar, age 95, of Flint, passed away peacefully at home, surrounded by her family, on Tuesday, October 27, 2026. Marian was born on October 7, 1931, in Flint, Michigan, the daughter of Russell and Dorothy (Plott) Gage. She received her early education locally, graduating from Beecher High School with the class of 1949. Marian continued her education at Baker Business College, earning her associate degree in 1984. She later attended the Detroit College of Business, where she earned her bachelor's degree in Business Administration in 1986.
On October 13, 1951, Marian married the love of her life, John Hollar, in Kansas City, Missouri. Together, they built a family and were blessed with three daughters. Sadly, John preceded her in death on February 13, 1999. Marian dedicated more than 30 years of her professional life to General Motors, working at the Fisher Body and A/C plants before retiring in 1991. Her dedication, determination, and commitment to learning continued long after retirement. Following her retirement, Marian discovered new creative interests through her attendance at the Flint Institute of Arts. There, she explored her artistic talents, discovering a love for painting and photography while also learning to play the piano. She enjoyed crafting and found pleasure in activities that challenged her mind, including solving math problems. In her free time, Marian also enjoyed exercising and reading.
Marian will be remembered for her love of family, her lifelong pursuit of knowledge, and her many talents and interests. Her memory will live on in the hearts of those who loved her and the generations of family she leaves behind.
Left to cherish her memory are her two daughters: Jonna (Greg) Francis and Sandra Hollar; seven grandchildren: Jonathan (Estee) Loga, Kim (Justin) Weeks, Jennifer (Matt) Coaty, Rochelle (Pete) Naegle, Jeremy (Justyna) Francis, Ryan (Joel) Hollar, and Kelsey (Kyle) Drudge; nine great-grandchildren: Thaden, Hannah, Christian, Isaac, Clara, Kendall, Hunter, Oliver, and Colson; brother-in-law, Dan (Sherry) Loga; special friend, Linda Raymond; and many other family members and dear friends.
Marian was preceded in death by her parents; her beloved husband, John; her daughter, Pattie; and four siblings, Mildred, Chuck, Betty, and Janet.
