Theodore Raworth Williamson, Jr., 74, of Augusta, went to be with the Lord whom he loved on June 30, 2012. He was preceded in death by his parents, Maudie Mae Jarrell and Raworth Williamson, his brother, Emory Jarrell Williamson, and his beloved wife of 41 years, Beth Wright, mother of his five children. He is survived by his loving wife, Jeanette; her son Emory Williamson, Jr.; and his children, Ted Williamson, Hallie Williamson, Lees Williamson Miner, Mark Williamson, and Anna Williamson Lutz. He is also survived by thirteen grandchildren and four step-granddaughters. Raworth was educated at William Robinson School and the Academy of Richmond County. He graduated from The Citadel, class of 1959, where he earned a BS in Business and was captain of the golf team. He earned a law degree from the University of Georgia in 1962. After working over forty years in the legal profession, he retired from the Georgia State Board of Workers Compensation as an administrative law judge. He was awarded Senior Judge status by the Board after retirement. Raworth received Christ as his Savior in high school, and later joined a mission work to bring the Bible to people in South America. His seeking eventually led him to know God’s eternal purpose. As a lover of Christ and the church, Raworth particularly appreciated the accounts of Jacob in the Bible. Without a doubt, at the end of his life he joins Jacob in thanking “”àthe God who has shepherded me all my life to this day.”” Genesis 48:15.
