He was a devoted member of the Lost Creek United Methodist Church. Worthy graduated from Lost Creek High School in 1954 and dedicated his career to the Harrison County Board of Education as a school bus driver. He was known for his reliability and his friendly demeanor, always ensuring his young charges reached school safely. Beyond his official occupation, he was also a passionate farmer, maintaining the very land on which he was born and raised. Among his many interests, Worthy had a particular fondness for steam engines, spending many enjoyable hours with his friend Keith Mason and companions of Locust Heights. His active participation in the community was evident in his involvement with the Lost Creek Lions Club, Lost Creek Senior Citizens, Lost Creek Volunteer Fire Department, Harrison County Farm Bureau, and as a Fire Warden for Harrison County.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made in Worthy’s honor to Lost Creek Vol. Fire Dept., PO Box 94, Lost Creek, WV, 26385, or Lost Creek Lions Club, PO Box 344, Lost Creek, WV, 26385.
