Jackson Herald, 13 Jul 2006
Callene Elizabeth McWhorter Howington, 99, of Nicholson, died Monday, July 10, 
2006.

She was born in Banks County and was the daughter of the late Charles Hampton 
and Nelia B. Segars McWhorter. She was a member of the Antioch United 
Methodist Church, was retired from Blue Bell, and later helped her husband 
raise cattle and chickens. She was educated at Young Harris College and taught 
school.

Known to most who came to know her as “Nan”, she was well known for her love 
of gardening, cats and cooking. As long as she was able, she spent time in her 
flower garden, and had a wide variety of flowers and bushes. She enjoyed 
working in her flower garden and spending time outside, according to loved 
ones.

Her love for cats produced many cat themed presents on birthdays and 
Christmas. She was proud of her cat figurines and was quick to show off her 
collection. Her son built her a cabinet to showcase them, and every visitor 
got a tour of her immense collection.

Mrs. Howington loved to cook and her love for hosting produced many visitors. 
Throughout her long life, she hosted many co-workers, college roommates, and 
friends of her children, grandchildren, nieces and nephews. She always made 
sure there was plenty of good food and dessert for her guests. Her specialty 
was fried chicken and chocolate pies, and every first-time visitor left 
commenting on the great meal and wonderful dessert.

Mrs. Howington was preceded in death by her husband, Otha Howington.

Survivors include two daughters, Pat Ayers and Onelia Wallace, Nicholson; two 
sons, Kenneth Howington, Nicholson, and Pete Howington, Monroe; six 
grandchildren; six great-grandchildren; and two great-great-grandchildren.

Funeral services were held Wednesday, July 12, in the chapel of Little-Ward 
Funeral Home with the Revs. Richard Cathy and Terry Smith officiating. Burial 
was in the Nicholson Cemetery.

Little-Ward Funeral Home, Commerce, was in charge of arrangements.
