Peggy Nell Henry Wortham, age 93, passed away to be with the Lord on Sunday, January 3, 2021. A private family service will be held at a later date.
Peggy was preceded in death by her husband, James O. Wortham, “Jimmy” and Peggy shared a long life together and moved often until settling in San Angelo, TX for much of their retirement years. After Jim’s death, Peggy moved to Midland to be close to her daughters. Peggy loved to play games with friends and family. “Train” dominoes, bridge, and fishing were some of her favorite ways to spend time.
Cheerful and always beautifully adorned, Peggy loved her family, and her tales will be missed as she was a great story teller.
Peggy is survived by her daughters, Debra L. Wortham and Kathy J. Jones of Midland; son, James O. Wortham, Jr. of Lone Star, TX. She is also survived by five grandchildren and ten great grandchildren and several grand animals.
The family would like to express their sincere gratitude to Hospice Care of Midland. Please make donations in lieu of flowers to Hospice Care. Found among her possessions was one of Peggy’s favorite quotes “friends are the flowers in your garden of life and memories are like threads of gold, they never tarnish or grow old.”
Family and friends will miss her smile.
Arrangements are under the directions of Nalley-Pickle & Welch Funeral Home & Crematory of Midland. Online condolences may be made at www.npwelch.com
