Raymond A. Wormsley 1931-2020

Mr. Wormsley was born April 23, 1931, in Pittsburgh, Pa., the son of Madge Wormsley. Raymond had a strong work ethic, which served him well throughout his years. He had a mind like a steel trap and his strength was math. He would say “you only have to show me once and I got it.” That ability to retain what he saw and his impeccable work habits landed him a job at General Motors, retiring after 25 years of service.

Raymond was a member of the Mt. Calvary Pentecostal Church, enjoyed fishing and was an avid Pittsburgh Steelers fan.

He leaves to cherish his memory, his wife, the former Joyce Evone Wilder; three daughters, Sharon (Gary) Nunley, Patricia Riley and Kimberly (Ernest) Golphin; stepchildren, Tina Robinson, Willie Mays LaShan and Kayla Boatner; 16 grandchildren; 10 great-grandchildren; two sisters, Delores Jacobs and Margaret Ann Parker; a brother, Robert Wormsley; a dear cousin, Sonn Wormsley; dear friends, Mr. and Mrs. Ezell Armour; and a host of nieces, nephews, family and friends.

Besides his mother, he was preceded in death by his late wife, the former Bernice Umphrey; a brother, Tommy Wormsley; and a sister, Dorothy Johnson.

Due to the pandemic, private services will be held for the family.

Arrangements entrusted to the L. E. Black, Phillips & Holden Funeral Home.
