Obituary for Robert M Worsham, Jr.
On Saturday, November 27, 2021, Almighty God, in His infinite wisdom, mercy, and grace, called his beautiful angel, Robert Matthew Worsham, Jr, home to rest from his labor. God completed his plan, and his journey had ended.
Robert, affectionately known to family and friends as “Bob,” was born on September 1, 1949, to Louise T. and the late Robert Worsham. The second born of six siblings, he spent all his years in Amelia, Virginia, and attended Russell Grove School. On January 1, 1972, he and Yvette Diane Worsham were joined in holy matrimony. To this union, four beautiful daughters were born.
He was preceded in death by his father, Robert M. Worsham, Sister Mary O. Worsham and a niece LaDetria Worsham.
“Bob” worked hard in several fields, namely Richfood, Richmond, VA, and Crawford Manufacturing in Richmond, VA. When a better career became available, he went to work in 1975 at Phillip Morris Manufacturing Company, where he retired after 33 years of service. He earned many recognitions for his honorable service.
“Bob” accepted Christ at an early age and was baptized at Branches Runn Baptist Church. He enjoyed working on cars. He had a passion for racing, fast cars, watching Westerns, and solving word searches. He loved spending time with family and his K9 companion, Copper. He diligently provided for his family spiritually, financially, and emotionally until his health began to decline. Despite all of his health issues, he was never one to complain and always lit up at the sight of his grandchildren.
“Bob” leaves to cherish fond and loving memories to his devoted wife of 49 years, Yvette Worsham. Four daughters Monique Worsham, Kim Powell (John), Latoya Jefferson (Clifton), Robin Worsham, all of Amelia. Four granddaughters; Takia Williams, Jayda Jefferson, Britnee Powell, Jordyn Jefferson.
