Mart was born May 13, 1933, at home in Summerfield, Oklahoma to L.S. and Easter (Gray) Hollan and passed away Tuesday, January 10, 2017 at OU Trauma Center in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. Mart was born fourth in a family of nine children. During the Great Depression, times were hard but being from a large family the children grew up close and learned to have fun playing pranks on each other, hunting and fishing. In August of 1955, Mart met who was to be his lifelong helpmate. On October 31, 1955, he married Charlene Bowman in Poteau, Oklahoma. Charlene was beside him as he was to her; from the time they married until Mart went home to be with our creator. Mart was blessed with three grandchildren; Clay, Chance, then Dawnel. Oh my! Dawnel came along shes the one who re-named Gandpa and Grandma to Papa and Mame. These grandchildren gave Papa great joy. He took them hunting, fishing, driving in the little red pickup or on the tractor. Whatever made them happy made Papa happy. Memorials may be made to the Colony Church of Christ.
