In Loving Memory of Mary Alice Holland, a woman whose life was a testament to love, beauty, and unwavering faith. Known affectionately as “Nan,” she passed away peacefully surrounded by family and loved ones. Nan’s life was marked by resilience, gratitude, and an enduring belief in the power of unwavering faith and love.
Preceded in death by her husband Woodrow Wilson Holland Jr., and siblings John, Wimpy, Ronnie, Carol, and Patty, Nan is survived by her beloved daughters, Sheree Mason and Connie Holland; son, Jeremy Holland; grandchildren: Amy Holland, Kylie Meloche, and great-grandson, Gabe Ybarra.
Nan viewed the world with wonder and gratitude, exemplified by her ever-present mantra, “I just keep on keepin’ on,” showcasing her resilience and positive spirit.
A dedicated teacher who cherished her ministry, Nan found joy in sharing her love for Jehovah and everything around her. Her appreciation for simple pleasures and people was boundless, finding beauty even in brokenness. She believed every interaction was an opportunity to show love, often sending cards and small gifts to express her care.
Nan’s love for Wood and their enduring companionship was a source of joy and faith. Despite Wood’s passing, Nan clung to the hope of reuniting in a future paradise earth (Ps 37:10,11,29).
Her legacy of faith, kindness, and appreciation for life’s small wonders will endure in the hearts of all who knew her, a lasting testament to the profound impact she had on those she loved and the lives she touched.
Visitation and a Memorial Talk will be held on Monday, October 20, 2025, at the Kingdom Hall of Jehovah’s Witnesses, Cold Spring, KY.
Her everlasting love, deep faith, and gentle soul will forever be treasured.
