Tillian (Jonie) Worley, 58, passed away April 9, 2023, at home surrounded by family, after a short but mighty battle against cancer.
Jonie was born November 1, 1964 in Palatka, Florida to the late Kenneth Richie, and surviving mother Ruby Roberts. Jonie graduated from East Bay High School in 1982, and married the father of her children George (Chris) Worley that same year. She resided in the area for over 25 years, before moving to North Florida (Milton) to be with daughter, and soon to be granddaughter. Being a small-town girl she knew she needed to return to Palatka in 2021 to take care of her mother. Shortly after taking care of her mother she would come to Zephyrhills to be with Chris where she would be the remaining years of her life enjoying their adventures such as camping, road trips, and time with kids and grandkids in resort style living.
She is survived by her lifetime partner George Chris Worley, three children Michael Worley (Beth), Amanda Cope (Timothy), and Shawn Worley (Edith), Grandchildren Tyler Tucisk, Kylee Hicks, Jacob Worley, Abbigail Broughton, Ryleigh Scharer, Xander Worley and Tyberius Worley, sister Dina Richie, nieces Kyleigh Richie and Marie Rowe. Preceded in death is her father Kenneth Richie and twin brother T.J. Richie.
Jonie was an avid crafter, who loved going to yard sales to find all things to share in her love of crafts. She loved getting lost on back roads and taking pictures of all of Gods beautiful creations, and spending time with family and friends.
