Agnes Worrell

Mrs. Agnes Boydstun Worrell, 103, of Grenada, a long-time resident of Ackerman, Mississippi, passed away Wednesday, November 19, 2025 at Providence Assisted Living. She was born August 26, 1922 in Winston County to John H. Boydstun and Lena Jackson Boydston.

Shortly after WW 2, B.L. (Red) Worrell, Sr married his wife and partner for life, Agnes Boydstun Worrell. Their marriage lasted over 62 years until his death in 2006.

They were co-owners of Worrell Oil Distributors in Ackerman and operated the business for over 40 years.

They both were very active at Ackerman Baptist Church where Red was a Deacon and she taught teenage girls in Sunday School for 15 years.

Agnes possessed a great love for children and waited over 10 years to have children of her own. God then blest her with two sons. Much like Hannah in the Bible, she dedicated them to the Lord's service, and both were called into full-time Christian ministry, and have actively served the Lord for over 50 years. Agnes was a prayer warrior and could be found reading her Bible every evening before bed. She taught God's word to her sons from an early age, reading Bible stories to them every night and spending time listening to their prayers. An experience that both sons realized made a difference in their lives and will always treasure.

In retirement, Agnes and Red became active in Campers on Mission, and for the next 15 years participated in building many of the facilities at Central Hills Baptist Assembly in Kosciusko. They also built or renovated several mission churches in Arizona and Florida.

Shortly after her husband's death, Agnes moved to Grenada where she became active at Emmanuel Baptist Church and was blest to make many new friends in the church, the community and at Providence Independent Living, and later at Providence Assisted Living.

She was greatly loved and cared for by Kenny and Becky Adams along with their family in her early years in Grenada, and later by the outstanding staff of Providence Assisted Living.

Funeral services will be held at 11:00 AM Saturday, November 22, 2025 at McKibben & Guinn Funeral Service in Grenada. The family will receive friends one hour prior to the service Saturday at McKibben and Guinn.

The committal service will take place at 2:30 PM Saturday at the Enon Cemetery in Ackerman.

Survivors include two sons, Bruce Lavel Worrell, Jr.(Gloria) and James Barry Worrell(Jane); eight grandchildren, Andrea Miley(Donny), Rebekah Worrell(P.J. Richoux), Clare Rodgers(Nick), Thomas "Deke" Worrell(Evelyn), Whitney Kersting(Jesse) and Sasha Jackson; and nine great-grandchildren, Krista Iglehart, Leah Miley, Maddie Worrell, Kaelie Miley, Marlee Worrell, Harper Rodgers, Sawyer Rodgers, Tanner Rodgers and Mayleigh Worrell.

Agnes is preceded in death by her parents; husband, B.L. "Red" Worrell; sister, Lillian Dillworth, Evelyn Stroud, Elizabeth Bagwell, Rita VonKohn, and Helen Boydstun; and brothers, Lamar Boydstun and Homer Boydstun.

In her final weeks, she was lovingly cared for by the staff of Adoration Hospice. The family would like to express our great love and appreciation to each of those special individuals who loved and cared for our mother.

Finally, we want to express our deep appreciation to her Doctor, Todd Lee, Brittany Hobbs his nurse and the staff at Grenada Family Medicine, who took great care of our Mother throughout the 17 years she resided in Grenada.
