Mr Hollingworth, who died suddenly at his home on January 31, was the councillor for Alvechurch ward from 2003 to 2015 and stood down at the last election to spend more time with his family.
After being responsible for the environment and finance on the council, he took over as leader in 2005.
Mr Hollingworth was described by his family as a much-loved son, husband, father and grandfather who would be greatly missed by all of his friends and family’.
The family has requested family flowers only and donations, if desired, should be sent to Diabetes UK or Acorns Children’s Hospice via Thomas Brothers funeral directors, Birchfield House, 494, Evesham Road, Redditch, B97 5JF.
