I have many warm and funny memories with her. She had a wonderful sense of humor and showed me how to laugh at myself. She also taught me many shortcuts and secrets for sewing and saved me from uh-oh’s more than once. I was so happy to hand her a huge bundle of velvet, that was to be my matron of honor dress in my sister-in-law’s wedding. A big save! I loved her and the wonderful family she and Mr Worsham raised. RIP Mrs. Worsham. This world is a lesser place without you.

Mrs . Worsham was the perfect example of the Proverbs 31 woman. I knew her mainly when I was preteen/teenager from church. She would sew clothes for me, because I was in that awkward stage where I didn’t want to wear children’s clothes, but I was too small for adult sizes. Petite clothes in those days (70’s) were hard to come by. She could take a pattern and tailor it to fit me perfectly. She had a sweet gentle spirit & raised a wonderful family.

I loved her so much and so did my baby. She was such a great person to get to know. She will be missed for sure. If there is anything I can do for you let me know.
