She was born Nov. 21, 1920 in Melbourne to Thomas "Jack" Gillihan and Minnie Nevada Bales Gillihan. She moved to Craighead County Arkansas at the age of 1 and lived there for the majority of her life. She married Herman Holland on Dec. 5, 1937. They were married until Herman's death in 1986, a total of 49 long and happy years. Shortly after their marriage, the couple moved to Dayton, OH. There, Jantra worked in a Department of Defense machine gun shell factory, creating shells that would eventually be used in the World War II war effort. They had three daughters Emilie Holland Statler, Elwanda Holland Fuqua Norris, and Regennia Holland. In 1945, the family moved back to Bono, Arkansas. Once back in Bono, Jantra had a diverse and satisfying career. She was head cook at Bono High School; supervisor at the Frolic Footwear factory for 20 years; shop steward for the factory worker's union; secretary and treasurer Bono City Hall, Bono Fire Department, and Bono Utilities (10 years); and intermittently owned and operated a ceramics shop. She married H.P. Jennings on Dec. 27, 1987. They were married for 25 years until his death in 2012, at the age of 98. Jantra was a master fisherman. She was known to catch trophy fish on the Tennessee River. She had a bright green thumb and loved nothing more than to share the products of her beautiful gardens. Her artistic talents spanned several mediums, including ceramics, painting, poetry, and quilting. Other interests included: membership in the Home Demonstration Club, membership in the Daughters of the American Revolution, and a long time membership at Bono Church of Christ.
