Mary Kathryn Lay Hollingsworth
(5
Feb 1927 - 16 Mar 2011)
OBITUARY: 03/18/2011
Our beloved Kathryn Lay Hollingsworth went to sleep in the Lord
on March 16, 2011. Those of us who remain to keep her loving memory in our
hearts are her husband of 66 years, Pren Hollingsworth; her
three children; eight grandchildren;
six great-grandchildren; one sister Frances; and
many cousins, nieces and nephews. Kay was predeceased by her parents,
Lawrence Lay and Alberta Blanche Bailey Lay; her sisters Margaret Lay Young
and Ruth Lay Stabler; and her brother Bob Lay. Kay was born Mary Kathryn Lay
on February 5, 1927 in Norman, Oklahoma. She attended school in Britton,
Oklahoma and also attended the University of Oklahoma. On December 22, 1945
Kay married her partner and soul-mate, Pren Guest Hollingsworth, in
Farmersville, Texas. Together they raised their family in several cities and
towns in Oklahoma, finally settling in Dallas in 1956. In addition to being
a devoted wife and mother, Kay had careers at St. Mark's School of Texas and
the American National Insurance Company, retiring in 1992. Kay was an artist
and musician, and she never tired of her interior decorating projects. After
retirement, Kay and Pren traveled and enjoyed their hobbies of crossword
puzzles, scrabble and computers. We rejoice in the faith that one day Kay
will meet the Savior in the clouds, but in the meantime we will sorely miss
her. Pren says the vision of her last smile seemed to him exactly the same
as her first smile 66 years ago. Graveside services are tentatively planned
for Monday, May 30, 2011 at Olive Hill Cemetery in Oklahoma City. In lieu of
flowers, the family request that memorials be made to the North Texas
chapter of the Lupus Foundation of America or to the charity of your choice.
