Mom's wisdom

"Here's the thing about life. You've got to find those fun things to have about life. This is not necessarily fun.
But you've got to find something fun." - Mom, on June 22, 2012.

Home at last

Judy Carol Whitley Worrell

September 20, 1944 - December 19, 2013


Our mom, Judy Worrell, passed away last night at 5 pm. God and all his angels lit the heavens and welcomed her home with an amazing party, starting with this sunset that darkened to a star-filled sky with a full moon and Jupiter brightly shining. We're relieved she's at peace. Although our hearts are broken, we're grateful to all of you who followed her journey here on the blog. It's been a source of comfort and strength to all of us. Your comments, emails, posts to Facebook, calls and visits have kept us going.

In lieu of flowers, we're requesting that those who wish to honor Mom consider donating to a memorial fund in her name. We will be endowing a scholarship for graduates of Mom's beloved North Richland Middle School and Richland High School.

Details on the scholarship fund, as well as on the funeral service, will be posted later today or tomorrow.

Love to you all.

I am so sorry to hear of Judy's death. I went to school with her and remember that she was always smiling and laughing.

I'm so sad to hear about this. Both my older sisters and myself had her as a teacher. We all loved her as a teacher and a person. We're all very sad, and send our condolences.
