 George Washinton Worley, 92, of Lynchburg, Virginia passed away on January 30, 2025. George was the son of the late Samuel Worley and Ruby Worley. He was the husband of Ann Williamson Worley for over 60 years.

He was a devoted member of Calvary Baptist Church and enjoyed building furniture, traveling, and gardening.
