Mary Camp Hollingsworth

Mrs. Mary Camp Hollingsworth passed away on December 14, 2012 in Huntsville, Alabama. Being a wife and mother was the most important role she chose in life. She delighted in gardening, cooking, and playing bridge. She often remarked that her soul was restored when she walked the beautiful hills of Anniston. Her riches were her family and she left them with memories of her beautiful smile, wit and zest for life. Mrs. Hollingsworth was born in Newell, Alabama on March 11, 1923. She attended Auburn University. She was a long time member of Parker Memorial Baptist Church and the Esther-Elatus Sunday School class. Mrs. Hollingsworth belonged to the Bienville Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution.
