Anthony Hollingsworth

Mr. Anthony Hollingsworth, 61, of Wilmington, Delaware, went home to be with his Heavenly

Father on the morning of Saturday, February 18, 2023, at his home surrounded by his big

brother James W. Hollingsworth, Jr.

Anthony was born on July 2, 1961, to the late James W. Sr. and Dorothy L. Hollingsworth. He

was the couples’ last child (the baby boy) out of 10. Anthony received his education in the

Brandywine Public School System.

Anthony was affectionately known as “Cuddy” and “Unc”,names given to him by his nieces,

nephews, and cousins. He had a huge heart and an affectionate LAUGH, that would always

make you just burst out in laughter with him. Cuddy enjoyed listening to music, eating seafood

as well as drinking coffee and a cold Pepsi soda; just dont bring him a bottle of water. He loved

his independence and taking walks in the North Wilmington area.

Cuddy’s greatest joy was being surrounded by family, friends and collecting his coins. He would

always hit you up for a couple of dollars ($2.00 to be exact) to get his coffee or pepsi. He would

always declare that “We are the richest family” and LAUGH!!! You can always count on him to

have a stack of dollar bills on him.

Cuddy was a music junkie and he loved listening to classic R&B music. He sure knew how to

wear a song out, LOL!!! Especially, Have You Seen Her by The Chi-Lites!!!

Anthony was preceded in death by his parents, James W. Sr. and Dorothy L. Hollingsworth; his

aunt Charlotte Ringgold-Hill; his sisters, Barbara Ann Matthews, Celestine Hollingsworth and

Roxanne M. Hollingsworth; his nephews, Ronnie A. “Munchie” Hollingsworth, Leo “Man”

Hollingsworth and Andrew Pennewell; his nieces, Dorothy Baston and Shaunice Hollingsworth.

Anthony Hollingsworth leaves to cherish his loving memory and continue his legacy, his 4

children Tyrone Barlow, Jerome Barlow, Angalee Barlow, and Tameka Fisher; 14 grandchildren;

5 sisters, Nancy Warren (Michael), Janet Wright (Donald), Pamela Hollingsworth, Brenda

Hollingsworth, Phyllis Rawlings (Wilbert); 2 brothers, James W. Hollingsworth, Jr. (Faith) and

Larry Harrison; 1 aunt, Dorothy Wilson-Hollingsworth; 1 uncle, Richard Jenkins (Karen Ann); his

extended Harrison Family (Delores, James, Tommy, Miles, Kelly, Diane and Denice); and a host

of devoted and dedicated nieces, nephews, cousins and friends.

A special “Thank You” to Joe and Shaun, Kevin and Alicia, Lawana Dunn and Yvette

DesSausure for the continuous love and care you’ve provided. Be blessed!

Lovingly Submitted,

The Hollingsworth Family
