The University of Texas at Arlington, The
Shorthorn Online, 3 Jul 2001:
Former Science Learning
Center director, 62, dies, Friends of Hilde Worsham remember the German native as
dedicated. By Gretchen Rakiec The Shorthorn news editor, Hilde Worsham made friends
wherever she went. She left a trail of friends like Hansel and Gretel left bread
crumbs, said Gloria Eyres, retired assistant vice president for graduate studies and
longtime friend of Worsham. Eyres said even the pharmacists from whom she picked up
medicine for Worsham would say, Oh, Hilde. We love Hilde. Worsham, who retired as
Science Learning Center director May 1, died Jun 27 at age 62 at Arlington Memorial
Hospital of bone cancer. Eyres said one of Worsham’s first jobs here was as a
receptionist for the School of Urban and Public Affairs, where she could make almost
anyone feel at ease. Hilde was a very gracious, very charming woman,” she said. She
has this talent for people. Jay Worsham, Hilde Worsham’s son, agreed. She was the
type of person that wherever she went, she made a friend, whether it was the jewelry
store or the hamburger place, he said. When she left, they knew who she was. Worsham
was a war bride who came here from Germany when she was about 20 years old. She
worked for the school from 1971 to 1991, when she started working in the center.
Lori Norris, administrative assistant to the Science dean, met Worsham when she was
working in the school. My former boss completed a master’s in SUPA, and Hilde was
the person she would send me to turn in papers late, she said. Hilde and I got to be
friends over joking about my boss’ tardiness when she was still with SUPA. She was
an absolutely lovely woman, always impeccably dressed. We were all worried about the
affect chemo would have on her because she took a great deal of pride in her
personal appearance — never any roots showing, always perfectly coiffed, perfect
hair, perfect nails. Norris said Worsham was the only other person she knew who
would taste raw hamburger meat before cooking it. They shared a quest for the
perfect hamburger. We have so many vegetarians on campus. She was one of the few
people who loved a good old-fashioned hamburger. We’d go out about once a month and
look for the perfect hamburger. We were always trying new hamburger places trying to
find just the right hamburger. But she described Worsham as a true lady. She always
kept herself just absolutely beautiful, she said. “Everyone who met her loved her.
You couldn’t know Hilde and not enjoy being around her. Jay Worsham said his mother
would want to be remembered as dedicated to her job, her friends, her family —
“anything she came into contact with. She expressed anything with honesty and truth
and compassion, he said. Norris said Worsham became ill and stopped working in
October but waited until May to retire because she intended to return to work.
Worsham is survived by her son, Jay Worsham, and his wife Vonnie of Arlington;
daughter Yvonne Burns and husband Keith of Tulsa, OK; and grandchildren K.C. Burns,
Tanner Burns, Davis Burns and Katie Worsham.

Lee Brooks, 2010, provided this picture of a family gathering in Hico, TX about 1910 and is based on his memories of the home and Ruth's apparent age.
Some of the people
 (Culbreath/Worsham) seem clearly indicated. Aunt Z. (Mother and
Ruth) are A. Z. Worsham Culbreath and Ruth is her daughter Ruth Culbreath Stovall.
Notes on the left margin clearly identify, to my mind, Rosa, Elwood and Maydell Worsham.
I am unsure who Edna, Maydell and Dick are, but Dick and Maydell are listed in a picture
of A. Z. and Ruth in the Golden Gate Park, San Francisco, CA about that time in August
1910. Nor can I identify the man at the piano to the left of A. Z. The name Maydell
seems familiar, but I can not recall or find who she is. They must be a Worsham in my
thinking.

Virginia and Glen's murder is discussed in
the 5 Jun 1985 issue of the Dallas
Morning News, p. 20A:
BROWNSVILLE MAN GETS LIFE SENTENCES IN PLEASANT
GROVE MURDERS, A South Texas man was sentenced to two terms of life in prison
Tuesday after a Dallas jury convicted him of slaying two Pleasant Grove
residents in 1983. Harry Eugene Temen, 53, of Brownsville was found guilty of
murder in the deaths of Glen and Pearl Todd in their home on South Acres Drive
on Oct. 9, 1983, during a robbery. Todd, a 67-year-old radiator shop owner,
was shot to death. His 64-year-old wife died from multiple blows to the head
with a blunt object. Temen, who said he was negotiating a business deal with
Todd, admitted being present when the slayings occurred but said another man
killed the Todds and told him to take their diamond and gold jewelry. The man
Temen named as the killer, Clyde Edwin Pruett, 50, is fighting extradition to
Texas from Colorado, where he and Temen were arrested nine days after the
slayings.”
Picture on right is from Dallas Time Herald,
5 Jun 1985.
Virginia and Glen were bur Laurel Land Cem, Dallas, Dallas, TX.
Thomas T. Temen,
2004, wrote:
"It seems that my uncle murdered two of your family
members. I just wanted to express my deepest sympathies and apologies to your
family. My Uncle was the bad apple of the family. We lost track of him in the
early 1980's and never knew what happened to him. During this search I also
found that he died in 1999. He spent most of his life in prison but never hurt
anyone. I guess its fitting that he died in prison. Again I am very sorry and
I will ask my family to pray for yours."
