DAVIS FAMILY
FUNERAL HOME
DEWEY, WASHINGTON CO, OK
(permission granted)
Bessie Hollandsworth, 67, of Bartlesville, went home to the Lord
Wednesday in Bartlesville.
Bessie Delores Danzy was born to Straughter Dixon and Doshan Danzy on
May 16, 1952, in Thomasville, Clark County, Alabama. She was raised in
the area and from an early age, she was her mother's helper and helped
care for her many siblings, especially after their mother passed away
when Bessie was just 17. At that time Bessie and her two younger
siblings moved to Massillon, Ohio, to live with their uncle. After
graduating from high school in 1970 Bessie attended college for two
years and earned her associate's degree. She lived in Oregon City for
more than 20 years, before moving to Bartlesville.
Bessie worked as a cashier at Dollar General where she met Danny
Hollandsworth, one of her customers at the store. They fell in love and
were married two years later on Sept. 20, 2010. They made their home in
Ochelata where they simply enjoyed the home life and country living out
in the hills. Bessie loved raising chickens and growing flowers. Her
farm consisted of up to 75 chickens, one peacock and several guineas.
She was fondly known as the "Egg Lady" and earned a lot of faithful
customers over the years, many of whom became friends.
Danny and Bessie were inseparable from the time they met and they did
EVERY-thing together. They loved each other and each other's company.
Most of all Bessie loved the Lord and the people around her. She always
had something good to say about everyone. Bessie's camera roll has
over a thousand pictures which she loved and cherished. She will be
dearly missed.
Bessie is survived by her loving husband Danny of the home; son "KJ" Kailonn Jamar Pledger Danzy of Canton, Ohio, who was her heart; three
daughters Daphne Sims and Barry Henson of Oologah, Rachel Hollandsworth
of Dewey, and Amanda Burton and Jeff of Bartlesville; one grandchild
Daniel Murphy of Owasso; three brothers Willie Pate of Aurora, CO,
Charles and Trina Danzy of Massillon, OH, and Samuel Danzy of Columbus,
OH; two sisters, Dorothy Danzy and Beatrice Danzy, both of Detroit.
She
was preceded in death by her infant son John Henry Wooten the 4th, her
parents, and three sisters Peggy, Shirley and Viola.
Visitation is at the Davis Family Funeral Home - Dewey Chapel,
918-534-3030, 113 S. Osage (Hwy. 75), Dewey, on Tuesday, Sept. 24, from
