Jane (Precythe) Hollingsworth

Jane Warren Precythe Hollingsworth, 74, of 110 Winnifred Street, Faison NC passed away Monday night March 14th, 2022 at Kitty Askins Hospice Center, Goldsboro NC.

Jane, born November 21st, 1947, was the daughter of the late Ralph Douglas and Mildred Virginia Warren Precythe.  A lifelong resident of Faison, she was the widow of the late Gary William Hollingsworth, and a much-loved Mama, Mama Jane, wife, sister, aunt and daughter.

Her life was one of service to her family, to her community, and to her church.  Jane lovingly cared for all her family – there to provide the encouraging word, a creative idea, or to tend to them in times of need.  She served as a Faison town commissioner for 28 years, a substitute teacher during her daughter’s early years, and as a fraud investigator for Sampson County Social Services for 28 years.  She tirelessly shared her talents at Faison Presbyterian Church in a variety of capacities including as an Elder of the Session.

In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by the love of her life, Gary William Hollingsworth.  Jane is survived by her daughter, Robin Hollingsworth Williford and husband Joey Wood Williford, her beloved grandchildren, Charles William and Jane Suzanne Williford, sister Linda Precythe Williamson, nieces Virginia Williamson Hillhouse and Elizabeth Leigh Williamson, and sister-in-laws Joanne Hollingsworth Peterson and Sharon Hollingsworth Pearsall.

A graveside service will be held Friday, March 18th, 2022 at 3pm at the historic Faison cemetery.  Friends and family are welcome to visit and remember Jane at our Faison home following the service or on Saturday, March 19th between 12 noon and 6pm.

The family would like to express sincere appreciation and gratitude to all the compassionate healthcare workers and care givers along the way, but particularly those at Rolling Ridge Assisted Living in Newton Grove and Kitty Askins Hospice Center in Goldsboro.
