Robert was born in Magee, Mississippi on June 11, 1942, the son of Willis H. Womack and Earnestine Maddox Womack.

On August 12, 1962, Robert married the love of his life and soul mate, Ann Lambuth Womack and they cherished nearly 63 years together. A man with a strong work ethic, Robert's career began in retail with the Woolworth and Woolco Corporations serving in management of the department stores. After moving to Tupelo in 1982, he owned and operated Mr. Transmission until 1992. He also worked in sales for Hunter Engineering until he fully retired in 2017. During his leisure time, Robert enjoyed playing golf whenever he could and keeping immaculately landscaped lawns and flowerbeds. He and Ann have many treasured memories of trips to the Smoky Mountains, spending time in Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge. Robert also had a strong faith which kept him grounded in life. He was a faithful member of Calvary Baptist Church.
