CONI HOLLINGSWORTH

Funeral services for Coni Hollingsworth, 59, of Monroe, LA, will be held at 2:00 
PM, Wednesday, July 9, 2014, in the chapel at Mulhearn Funeral Home, Sterlington 
Road, Monroe, with Bro. Brandon Martens and Bro. Michael Sims officiating. 
Interment will follow at Mulhearn Memorial Park Cemetery.

Surrounded by her family on Saturday, July 5, 2014, Coni traded all of her 
worldly pain from a 17 month battle with pancreatic cancer for a beautiful 
crown. And we all know how much she loved a pretty crown!

Coni's beautiful soul allowed her to find the good in anyone, spots of beauty 
where no one else could, and taught those around her to look for the small 
things and find joy. There was no flower she couldn't make grow, no food she 
couldn't make delectable, and no heart she couldn't make fuller than it had been 
before it knew her. She kept the local Hallmark store in business because she 
sent cards to everyone for every occasion. (Chances are you are nodding your 
head right now because you received a card from her, and probably thought to 
yourself, "I didn't even know they made a card for that!) She loved to be in her 
yard, with her hands in the dirt; she treasured driving tree-canopied streets in 
her beloved convertible, and she was never happier than when she had a house 
full of company to entertain with cloth napkins and a fully decorated table.

Coni will be remembered for all of these things, but least we forget her faith. 
Her relationship with The Lord was her most admirable accomplishment. She 
trusted Him with each and every decision, thanked Him for each and every 
blessing, and asked of Him numerous requests on a daily basis, though few of 
those prayer requests were ever for herself. And it is because of this faith 
that it can be said, Coni won her battle with cancer.

Upon her passing, Coni was reunited in Heaven with her parents, Benjamin and 
Sybil Goldsberry and brother Mike Goldsberry, whom she longed to see.

Left to cherish her memory are her adoring husband of 40 years, Clay 
Hollingsworth; son, Chris Hollingsworth and wife Darby; daughter, Corine 
Hollingsworth Naron and husband Jay; grandson, Gage Hollingsworth; her ever 
loyal Mamie Caroline, brother, Roger Goldsberry; sisters, Sharon Savoie, Judy 
Myers, Kristi Goldsberry; and a number of nieces, nephews, friends, and other 
special relatives.

Pallbearers will be Dustin Barton, Rick Felkel, Mike Gomilla, Zach Johnson, Nick 
Oglesby, Michael Plummer, Kevin Savoie, and Shaun Savoie, Jr. Honorary 
pallbearers will be Shaun Savoie, Sr. and Robert Woodard.

Visitation will be from 5:00 PM until 8:00 PM, Tuesday, July 8, 2014 at the 
funeral home.

The family wishes to extend their thanks to Kim Sanderson and Emily Ramsey of 
Pafford Ambulance, Randee Mann of Avalon Place, Shane Davidson, Keith Carter, 
and M. D. Anderson's Dr. Marina George, along with all of the friends and loved 
ones that constantly lifted spirits with cards, calls, and visits, but even more 
so-prayers.

Memorials may be made to The
American Cancer Society
, The Monroe Garden Club, or any other giving organization. If you know Coni, 
you know that there wasn't an organization that she didn't support with her 
generous spirit and selflessness.
