Mrs. Reba Wright Hollingsworth

Life is a Journey…Heaven is the Destination!

On the Path of Life, as we walk each other toward HOME & all through the time of Reba’s journey, she was always a shining light, with a giving Servant’s heart to all that was fortunate to meet her, always pointing you toward her Savior, Jesus Christ.

At the age of 87, on Tuesday, April 14, 2026, Reba met her Savior & best friend Jesus face to face, now healed & safely HOME.

Reba left behind 2 SPECIAL part-time fury friends…

Savi & Ruby

It was her pride and joy to give them special treats & ride them around to various farms to see the cows. Savi & Ruby loved her SO.

Reba left behind Nieces, Nephews, Cousins & family that she cherished & loved.

Reba never met a stranger. To know her was to love her. Everyone she met, called her friend. Reba excelled in everything she did on the Path, from various jobs, volunteering, to casual encounters you saw Jesus shining through her. From her smile, her encouraging words to her array of gifts of handmade to homemade ~ she was EXCEPTIONAL in her labor of LOVE. She used her God given talents to Gift others. What seemed like ordinary days from cooking, canning, gardening, sewing & crafting ~ Reba had others on her mind. Whether you visited her or she had to drive to you, she had an array of gifts from her Treasure Chest to give you. Reba truly spoke her Testimony from her SOUL in her many deeds.

Reba will truly be missed by all. She was a BLESSING. Her greatest gift to you, was shining Jesus onto the Path in hopes that all would look up, give HIM Glory & say YES to Jesus. God has said “well done my good & faithful Servant” to Reba. Pick one thing from your encounter with Reba, carry it on & shine for others to see Jesus, as we continue walking the Path together toward HOME…
