Frank Dennis Holland was born 30 September 1910 in Park City, Summit County, Utah, United States to Dennis Joseph Holland (1878-1910) and Mary Elizabeth Malvey (1888-1984) and died 13 February 1977 St. George, Washington County, Utah, United States of unspecified causes. He married Alice Bentley (1915-2011) 8 September 1936 in St. George, Washington County, Utah, United States.
Jeffrey Holland’s father, Frank, was a different kind of pioneer. An Irish convert to the Church, Frank ended his formal schooling with the seventh grade. But he diligently sought education on his own, becoming a public accountant and civic leader in St. George, Utah. Some who came under his influence still speak of the impact of his love of the Book of Mormon and still remember his Sunday School lessons. He was the kind of father who helped organize Little League baseball in the community after his son lamented that there were no baseball teams for boys his age. [1]
Thus, the three living children of Frank D. and Alice Bentley Holland—Dennis, Jeffrey, and Debbie—enjoy a dual heritage of strength. (Scott Bentley Holland, born in the time between the births of Jeffrey and Debbie, died in infancy.)
