Memorial Service For Prentice Blankenship - February 2, 2026

I didn't know Prentice very well.  I knew his daughter Lisa Holder and grandchildren Katherine and Lexi, however, when they were involved in the Young Performer's Theater at Davis Musical Theatre Company (DMTC) from the years 2006-8.  Prentice appeared in just one show, "Camelot," in 2007.  So, when Prentice died at age 96, and much of the family returned from Oregon for the services, I wanted to wish them well.

I was also motivated by trying to learn the identity of family member Lisa Kelly.  She seemed to know me on Facebook, but I didn't know who see was.  Turns out, Lisa Holder now goes by Lisa Kelly.  I already knew her.  Who knew?

It was nice to see them again after 18 years!

St. Mary's Cemetery. This place is big. It took me forever to find the graveside service.

Reception back at the chapel.
