Melinda Marie Hollingsworth,
37, of Rapid City, passed away on
Mon., February 22, 2016 at Rapid
City Regional Hospital. She was
born in Rapid City, SD on August 8,
1978 to Gayla Krueger Schlei and
Herbert Dale Hollingsworth.
Melinda graduated from Rapid
City Central High School. Through-
out her adult life she worked in the
hospitality industry. She really en-
joyed meeting people from all over
the country and was always willing
to strike up a conversation.
In her spare time she had an ar-
tistic side, doing arts and crafts with
her children. She was an avid TV/
movie watcher and she could tell
you all about Grey's Anatomy. She
loved everything that was "as seen
on TV", calling her mom frequently
to tell her about the latest gadget she
just saw.
She idolized her sister that fed
her frozen hot dogs, burnt peas and
rice like Cambodians. That same
sister also says Melinda was a total
tattle tale.
Her favorite niece, Alli~ ~shared
her birthday, being bom on her
thirteenth. Being a teenager, Me-
linda wasn't so sure about this new
baby stuff...but they soon became
inseparable. Alli called her aunt
"Geekee", her nickname for years
to come.
Melinda felt her greatest ac-
complishments were her two chil-
dren, Andrew and Devin. She loved
spending time with them. One of the
last things they did together was at-
tended a RUSH hockey game. She
tried every day to have times of
making memories for her kids. She
loved them with all her heart.
Melinda is survived by her son,
Andrew Green and daughter, Devin
Hollingsworth; mother, Gayla
Krueger Schlei; father, Herbert
