Nora Ann Hollingsworth, born on October 17, 1929, in San Antonio, Texas to Ralph and Anita Montalvo, passed away peacefully on Thursday, August 29, 2024, at her home in Garland, Texas. As a child she moved with her family to Dallas, Texas where she attended school and graduated from Crozier Tech. On February 5, 1949, she married Roy Hollingsworth, the love of her life, and together they made a home and raised four children. Nora was a devoted wife and mother and worked side by side with her husband in the concession business at the Devil's Bowl Speedway, the State Fair of Texas and the Mesquite Rodeo. She was an avid Dallas Cowboys fan and loved to engage in conversation with other fans about the team members and their games.
