Spotlighting our 2026 Recipients - Holly Feucht
My name is Holly Feucht. I am a 48-year-old wife, mom, daughter, sister, grandma, friend, and now a fighter. My family is my greatest blessing and my greatest source of strength as I continue moving forward.
I grew up in the Beechwood and Plymouth area. I graduated from Elkhart Lake High School in 1996. Today, I am grateful to call the Marytown area, part of the Holyland community, home as my family and I have built our lives here. I began my career at Sargento Foods right after high school and am proud to still be working there 30 years later. Back in the day, I also bartended at Players in Plymouth, where I made many lifelong friendships.
Giving back has always been important to me. For many years, I played on my family's softball team, supporting Gift of Life and its mission of helping people in our community when they need it most. In 2003, I was honored to be named the Gift of Life Women's MVP, an accomplishment I will always cherish.
On March 2, my husband, Chad, and I purchased Marytown Tap. Just days later, our lives took an unexpected turn when I was diagnosed with Stage 4 metastatic melanoma that had spread to my liver, lung, adrenal gland, and brain.
I am currently undergoing immunotherapy and have received radiation treatment for the tumors in my brain. Recently, I received encouraging news: two of my nine brain tumors are gone, the remaining tumors have shrunk, and the tumors in my liver and lung have not grown.
While this experience continues to bring challenges and uncertainty, it has also shown me just how blessed I am to be surrounded by so much love. My faith, hope, and the incredible support of my family, friends, coworkers, customers, and community give me strength every day.
Being chosen as a Gift of Life recipient is an incredible honor. After years of supporting this amazing organization, I never imagined I would one day be on the receiving end of its kindness and generosity. The kindness, love, and support shown by Gift of Life have touched my heart and my family in ways we will never forget.
From the bottom of my heart, thank you to Gift of Life, its volunteers, its sponsors, and everyone who continues to support this amazing organization. The generosity of this community has made such a difference in my life and my family's lives, and we are forever grateful.
No One Fights Alone!
