Pastor Annette Worthem was born in October to the late Perry and Evelyn Smith in Macon, GA. She departed this life on March 26, 2025. She received her education in Atlanta through the Atlanta Public Schools system and later worked at Georgia Duck, where she eventually retired.
Pastor Worthem was a devoted woman of faith and a member of several churches throughout her life. She was a faithful member of Evangelistic Miracle Revival Center under the late Bishop William E. Croom. She later joined Temple of Divine Holiness Church and Emmaus Road Missionary Baptist Church. She also pastored Tabernacle of Faith, where she touched many lives with her leadership and teachings. In her later years, she became a member of It Is Written Word of The Living God Ministry under Pastor Steven Clark, where she continued to serve in faith until her passing.
Pastor Annette Worthem leaves behind a great legacy and cherished memories with her loving family: her children, Grady A. Brantley and Sonya L. Hawkins; her grandchildren, Tyanna Owens, Keith Hill, Tavisha Ficklin, Dominique Miller, Alondais Height, Jayveious Height, Sha'Londais Hawkins, and Ja'Corey Hawkins; and 16 great-grandchildren.
She is also survived by her beloved sisters: Bernice Dunn of Atlanta, Bessie Baugh of Atlanta, and Ruthie Hubbard of Lithonia, GA, along with a host of nieces, nephews, cousins, and dear friends.
Pastor Worthem's unwavering faith, kindness, and leadership will be deeply missed, but her legacy of love and devotion will live on in the hearts of those she touched.
