Holly's mum Micala Trussler said: "We'd really love for people to come along and help us remember Holly and we feel that as a community, you've supported us so much, that we'd love you to be part of it.
"Again, I thank you all so much for supporting me through the toughest time of my life."
The family has asked that people wear something purple and to contact them if they intend to go.
A death notice placed in the Courant reads: "Holly, much-loved daughter of Micala and Chris, and stepdaughter of Lee and Amy, proud and loving sister of Jake, Abilee, Scarlett, Grace and George, dearest granddaughter of Vicki and Philip.
"Family flowers only please, donations in lieu of flowers to Compassionate Friends Supporting Bereaved Parents."
