Holly Jo Conner, of Delphi, Indiana, 56, died peacefully at 3:58 p.m. on Thursday, May 7, 2026, at her residence surrounded by her loving family.

Holly was born on January 18, 1970, in Monticello, Indiana to Roy G. Cline and Bonnie (Napier) and Toney Isom, who raised her.

On Tuesday, September 13, 2011, in Hawaii she married Chris Conner. He survives.

Holly was a 1988 graduate of Twin Lakes High School of Monticello. She was employed at McDonalds for over twenty years, where she met many of her friends and fell in love with the community. Holly then went on helping the community by working at Area IV and providing assistance to those in need. She was a selfless and caring individual and was one of the kindest souls. She truly represented the best in humanity and always showed grace during the most difficult of times. Holly had an incredible sense of humor, adventure, and love of family. She loved photography, geocaching, motorcycle rides, and exploring new places. Holly radiated love and strength and raised her daughters to do the same. For the last six years she had a hard battle with cancer, but amongst that got to experience so much love and joy, like watching grandbabies be born and grow, seeing her daughters graduate, get married, and chase their dreams, and spending cherished time with family and close friends. Her absence will be felt by many; she was an angel before she gained her wings.

Holly is survived by husband, Chris Conner of Delphi, Indiana; daughters, Britany (husband Steve) Catron of Burnettsville, Indiana, Taylor (husband Jake) Park of Burnettsville, Indiana, and Akina (fiancé Tomas Ibarra) Lindley of Chicago, Illinois; step-children, Rob, Tony, Kelsee, and Mercedes; grandchildren, Kyde, Kaiden, Jacey, Reagan, Jaxon, Grissom, Weston, Parklynn, Killian, Quinn, Lainey, and Eliana; mother, Bonnie (husband Toney) Isom of Monticello, Indiana; sisters, Cathy (husband Jim) Rentfrow of rural Monticello, Indiana, Melissa "Missy" Westbury of Crawfordsville, Indiana, Rhonda (husband Brian) Johnson of Richmond, Indiana; brother, Joey (wife Stephanie) Isom of Winamac, Indiana; several nieces, nephews, aunts, uncles, cousins; and her actual favorite child Rachet "Baby Bean" the bulldog.

She was preceded in death by grandmother Belle Napier, loving aunts and uncles, and biological father Roy Cline.
