A Daughter’s Tribute: The Enduring Wisdom of Patricia T. Holland 

When Patricia T. Holland passed away in 2023, she left behind more than a legacy of leadership and service. As the wife of Elder Jeffrey R. Holland of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, she was known to many as a spiritual leader, teacher, author, and musician. But to her daughter, Mary Alice Holland McCann, she was simply “Mom”—a woman of deep faith, quiet strength, and extraordinary kindness. In a recent interview on Studio 5, Mary Alice shared the story behind her new book, An Eye Single: Thoughts and Teachings from Patricia T. Holland, a collection of her mother’s most cherished insights. What began as a personal project to preserve her mother’s testimony for future generations has become a gift to all who seek peace, purpose, and spiritual confidence.
