In Memoriam of Holly Marchant

The team at Healthy Way is deeply saddened to let you know that on October 28th, Holly Marchant passed away. She was surrounded by her loved ones and was at peace. The family will not be offering a funeral or memorial service.

Rex, Janice, Lynne, and Kirk share their thoughts and feelings below.

From Rex:

Holly was an amazing and wonderful person. Her caring and brilliant approach helped thousands of people improve their quality of life. She shared with people ways to support living wellness and increase the likelihood of quality life in the years to come.

She had a gift which she graciously and patiently shared with people. Holly could clearly hear people’s health goals and then educate them on the most important and productive ways to support the various systems of our body with the Premium Answers formulas and some other resources. Many people expressed the great help Holly brought them and their family and friends over the years.

I had the privilege of personally meeting Holly for the first time in the late 1980s in Portland, Oregon. I provided a free Total Wellness Seminar at a health food store for a medium-sized group. Holly shared with me several months later that the information I shared was life-changing in very positive ways.

Holly later invited me to do a training and Q&A session at her home for several friends. She shared with me later that the information I presented was well-received and helpful to those who attended.

A while after that training in Holly’s home, she approached me with her desire to open a health food store in Portland, Oregon. She aimed to share the Premium Answers formulas with as many people as possible. Holly asked me to help her with this adventure, and I was delighted to.

For many years, I provided (at Holly’s request) a large number each year of three-hour-long Total Wellness Seminars followed by additional question and answer time for the Abundant Living Nutrition Center.

It has been a great privilege and honor to support Holly in her efforts to help people support healthy living for more than 36 years. She will be deeply missed by everyone who had the privilege of knowing her!

From Janice:

Holly deeply cared for everyone and was a true “Vitamin Angel.” She was sensitive to people’s need to be heard and validated. She was determined to help people learn about Premium Nutrition and have faith in Jesus. Holly found these answers in her own life and was happy to share this wisdom with others. Holly’s encouragement helped me in my health journey. Every day when I take my Alive & Well, I say to myself with a smile on my face: “This one’s for you, Holly!” I am so grateful I had the opportunity to work with Holly. I miss her and look forward to seeing her in heaven someday.

From Lynne:

It was an honor and a pleasure working with Holly. She dedicated her whole heart to helping customers with impeccable knowledge, deep caring, and a sharp wit. She championed Premium products and kept the health and wisdom of the founders alive. I have learned so much from Holly and am proud of her legacy. I will miss her sweet heart, hearing her angelic voice and laugh, and sharing her enthusiasm and love for our customers. There will never be another Holly.

From Kirk:

As Holly’s manager at Healthy Way, I was always impressed by her conscientiousness and industriousness. She contributed to many business areas, helping us improve our policies, procedures, and systems. Her profound product knowledge and experience helped strengthen everyone on our team. Holly diligently improved askHealthyWay.com weekly and faithfully published our email update for many years. Most importantly, she contributed to a myriad of customers from a heart committed to helping people. We all loved her.
