Obituary

William "Bill" Tennant Holland, born October 16, 1940, in Leon, WV, a son of Tennant and Virginia (Adkins) Holland, passed away at home, on Wednesday, February 23, 2022, after a brief illness.

He leaves behind his wife of almost 60 years, Nancy Lee (Rollins) Holland; one daughter, Tina Lynn (Holland) Hartley; son-in-law, Greg Hartley, who had been with them since the age of 15, and was considered a son; two granddaughters, Marlee Elizabeth (Jack) Hamilton, ad Kaylee Rae Hartley, all of Point Pleasant; great-grandson, Quinton Kent Hamilton; siblings, Robert "Bob" (Carolyn) Holland, of Cheshire, OH, Clarence (Ruth) Holland, of Gallipolis Ferry, Phyllis Sargent, of Point Pleasant; and in-laws, Sheila Rollins, Wade Ray (Krista) Rollins, Terry (Kathy)Rollins, Rusty (Coni Rollins) Wood, Stevie (Wilma) Rollins, all of Point Pleasant; and many nieces and nephews.

In addition to his parents, he was also preceded in death by two brothers-in-law, Cecil Sargent and Paul Rollins.

Bill's family was his life.  He loved them with his whole heart.  He spent countless hours babysitting and playing with them.  He taught the girls milestones, such as how to tie their shoes, tell time, how to count money, and how to ride a bike.  He was and always will be their greatest supporter.  A favorite day was spent with his family shopping, and eating at the mall, where he could be found carrying packages, holding handbags and patiently waiting.  He would always say at the end of the day, "well we had a really good day, didn't we?"

He also loved Facebook.  We often called him "Mr. Facebook." He loved keeping up with his family and friends, and especially loved keeping up with Marlee and Kaylee, and all their friends.  He knew many of them personally, but even if he didn't, he talked about them by name, like he had known them for years.

He was retired from the Boilermakers Local 667, Winfield, after nearly 60 years of service.  He was a member of the Point Pleasant Moose Lodge #731; a 32nd Degree Mason, of the Minturn Lodge #19 AF & AM; past president of the Beni Kedem Shriners, of Point Pleasant; and the American Legion, Mason County Post #23, having served in the United States Army.

There will be a funeral service at 1:00 p.m., Sunday, February 27, 2022, at the Crow-Hussell Funeral Home, with Pastor Mark Oliver officiating. Burial will follow in Forest Hills Cemetery, with military graveside rites conducted by the Stewart-Johnson VFW Post#9926.  Visitation will be at the funeral home from 11:00 am until 1:00 p.m. You may offer condolences to the family by visiting: www.crowhussellfh.com.
