Florence Ann Hollingsworth

Hollingsworth. On December 10th, 2024, the world lost a loving daughter, sister, mother, aunt,

grandmother, friend, & partner. Florence passed away unexpectedly in Phoenix, Arizona at the

age of 58.

Florence was born in Stigler, Oklahoma on June 23rd, 1966, to Margaret & Cecil Brandon. She

grew up in McLoud, Oklahoma and graduated from McLoud High School in 1984. During her too

brief but eventful life she lived in Oklahoma, Texas, Washington, California, Japan, and Arizona.

Florence spent the majority of her career working in the finance sector within the healthcare

industry, and was always quick to provide assistance and advice regarding her expertise when

asked.

Flo was adventurous, family oriented, playful, loving, opinionated, generous, and kind to all.

These attributes led her to live a life of varied interests. She could just as easily be found

singing karaoke with her sister as she could be crafting a thoughtful keepsake for her grandson.

She was an avid reader, and dreamed of visiting the places she read about in the Outlander

book series, her favorite novels. Her willingness to explore led her as far afield as Japan with an

infant as her traveling companion, and as close as a home state diner on a road trip taken on a

whim. Throughout it all she was grounded by her deep and abiding love for her family, with

whom the most meaningful moments of her life were shared, a love demonstrated by her

stubborn refusal to leave this world until her family gathered around her.

Florence is preceded in death by her parents, Margaret & Cecil Brandon. She is survived by her

daughter Brandi (Evan) English, son Joshua Hollingsworth, daughter Rachael Hollingsworth,

sister Christy (Joel) Derr, brother Nick (Delaney) Brandon, grandson Davey Jackson, fiance Tre

Morris, & many nieces, nephews, friends & loved ones.

The family would like to thank the staff at Honor Health Deer Valley for the care they showed for

Flo, and the compassion they gave to her family.
