Robbie Jay Hemmeline was born on May 21, 1931, at home in Lynn County, TX, to A.B. and Julia Pearl (Ensor) Hemmeline. She graduated from Roosevelt High School in May of 1948, at the age of 16. After turning 17 later that month, her father gave his permission for her to get married. She married Don Whitworth on June 30, 1948, in Lubbock, and they were married 75 years. Don preceded Robbie in death by 14 days.

Robbie dedicated her life to raising their three children in a Christian home. Her nurturing and loving spirit touched the lives of many, making her a cherished figure to her family, to her community, and to her church. She embraced her role as a homemaker, creating a warm and welcoming household for her loved ones and their friends.

Robbie and Don were blessed with three children: son Kerry Whitworth, daughter Kathy Nickell (husband Robert), and son Keith Whitworth (wife Patricia), six grandchildren: Shelby Nickell, Derek Nickell, Austin Nickell, Patrick Nickell (wife Chris), Bradley Whitworth, Whitney Ledford (husband Jeffrey), and three great grandchildren: Penny Nickell, Timothy Nickell, and Colt Ledford. Robbie loved her family dearly and took great pride in watching them grow into the remarkable individuals they have become. Her love and support will forever live on in their hearts.

During this time of mourning, let us remember Robbie’s caring spirit, her unwavering love, and the impact she had on those fortunate enough to have known her. May her warm smile, gentle nature, and loving spirit continue to guide us, reminding us to cherish each other and live life to the fullest.

Robbie Jay Whitworth peacefully departed this world on October 24, 2023, at the age of 92 in Lubbock, TX.

In lieu of flowers, the family kindly asks for donations to be made in Robbie’s memory to The Childrens Home of Lubbock.

I Just Have To Share This, But When I First Started Attending Greenlawn's Ladies Class Probably Close To 20 Years Ago It Was Robbie Who Approached Me A Tuesday Morning And Asked Me If I Would Say A Prayer To Open Class. I Actually Told Her I Wasn't Able To Do That Because I Didn't Feel Either Worthy Or Talent Enough To Do So. However, Maybe A Couple Years Later I Got Brave And Started Leading Opening Prayers. Robbie Was Always One Of The First Ladies To Encouraged Me Afterwards And Remind Me I Could Even If I Thought I Couldn't.

We loved Robbie and Don so very much. We miss them already, but know who they belong to and where they will be. 75 years of loving each other and others was a great example to so many. What a sweet family. May God bless you in the years to come.

Mr. and Mrs. Whitworth were two of the kindest people I have had the pleasure of knowing. I can remember them always being so sweet while I was growing up at Lubbock Christian- and every Sunday at Greenlawn. May God bring you peace and comfort in this time.
