<p>TV and radio personality Holly Golembiewski will be remembered for touching many lives and for being what many of her friends called &#8220;an amazing person.&#8221;</p><p>Golembiewski, 36, of Dupont, died unexpectedly Tuesday. In a statement released on Facebook, her family thanked all for their kind words, thoughts and prayers.</p><p>Golembiewski used Kate Moss as an on-air name.</p><p>&#8220;We know that she touched many lives, and would like to put to bed any rumors,&#8221; the statement read. &#8220;Holly&#8217;s unfortunate passing was a result of complications from diabetes and hypoglycemia.&#8221;</p><p>Mike Reed of Missouri often appeared on Golembiewski&#8217;s NASCAR radio show &#8212; &#8220;Race Talk Live with Kate Moss.&#8221;</p><p>&#8220;Her death is shocking more than anything else,&#8221; Reed said. &#8220;I&#8217;ve been reading the more than 1,000 comments on Facebook and I am amazed at how many people whose lives she touched and whom she reached out to on a daily basis.&#8221;</p><p>Reed said the most difficult thing for him and many others is that nobody saw this coming. Her death came as a shock to everyone who knew her.</p><p>Golembiewski was a host for WBRE-TV&#8217;s &#8220;NEPA Live.&#8221; News Director Jim DePury said Golembiewski was &#8220;a lovely girl and we will miss her.&#8221;</p><p>A friend, Candice Smith, wrote on her blog that Golembiewski was &#8220;a beautiful person inside and out.&#8221;</p><p>Smith also said, &#8220;(Holly) had a smile that lit up a room, an infectious laughter that made you happy, and a presence that was so palpable you just wanted to be with her.&#8221;</p><p>Golembiewski was the daughter of Stanley and Elizabeth &#8220;Betty&#8221; (Pokorny) Golembiewski. She was a graduate of Seton Catholic High School and graduated from Marywood University with a master&#8217;s degree in Elementary Education. She worked as an elementary school teacher for 10 years in the Bensalem Township School district and also for the Dallas School District.</p><p>She was known as &#8220;Kate Moss&#8221; on TV and while working for the CLNS radio network covering NASCAR events, ION TV, and as an on air personality for NASH 93.7.</p><p>Her obituary said this: &#8220;Holly&#8217;s smile was contagious, her laugh infectious. The positive attitude she exuded in every encounter made a lasting and meaningful impact on everyone she met. To say she was beloved by her students is an understatement. Her large fan base felt inspired by her optimism and the vibrant level of energy she brought to her work. She was a gifted writer, speaker, reporter, and presenter of ideas.</p><p>&#8220;In sum, she was an extraordinary communicator in both personal and professional environments. Most would agree that the world has lost a very bright light. However, nothing can dim the impact of Holly&#8217;s light because its radiance and reach cannot ever be diminished or forgotten.&#8221;</p><p>Funeral services will be private and held at the convenience of the family.</p><p>Memorial contributions mad be made to the American Diabetes Association P.O. Box 11454 Alexandria, VA 22312 or to the Dupont Lions Club 401 Main St. Dupont, PA 18641.</p><style>
