Hannah was born on December, 24 1987 in Farmington, NM. Her doctors had assured her parents that her due date was not, as originally set, on Christmas Day of that year, but rather a whole month later. Hannah’s parents were given the go-ahead to travel and were visiting family in New Mexico when Hannah was born full-term near her original due date. Only hours after her ‘surprise’ delivery, Hannah was sent home, tucked into a colorful Christmas stocking. She was the best Christmas present her family ever received. On January 10, 1988, Hannah was born again by water and the Word in Holy Baptism.  

 

Hannah passed away on July 28, 2016 in Austin, TX.

 

Mourning her death are parents Reverend Karl and Dr. Becky Hollibaugh; daughter Kamiela; siblings Nathaniel, Leah, and Josiah; fiancee Hunter Cahalan; grandparents Kenneth Hollibaugh and Dick and Vici Merrill; great-grandmother Alta Merrill; Korey Burden; and many aunts, uncles and family. She is also remembered fondly by her many friends, coworkers and customers Austin’s 6th Street and at the Big Bang Bar, where she was general manager and bartender. Hannah was preceded in death by dearly loved grandmother RoseMary Hollibaugh, and cousin Travis Pieper.

 

She will be remembered for her loving feistiness, her excellent work ethic, her joie de vivre, and her artistic talents.
