Citadel Alumni Obituaries

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.”"
