LINDA NELL ANABLE WORLEY, 70, passed away Jan. 12,
2012, in Azle, TX, with her loving family by her side.
Linda was born Dec. 14, 1941, in Graham to Alva Lee &
Exie Pearl Hayes Anable. She attended Hodges Oak Park
School and Ranger High School in the Class of 1960 at
Ranger, TX. She was the foundation of her family. Lind
dedicated her life to her loved ones and put everyone
who entered her life before her. She made lifelong
choices and decisions without personal regard, only
ever considering her husband, children and those who
surrounded her. She was a mom to many, raising children,
grandchildren, children from her extended family and
foster children. She thrived on helping others and
never regretted the sacrifices. She touched many lives
with her kindness and generosity. Linda was an anchor
on a ship that often experienced rough seas. She will
be missed dearly.
Linda was preceded in death by her son, Edwin Dean Worley;
daughter, Karen Dee Worley; father, Alva Lee Anable; and
brother, John Ed Anable.

years, Boyce Dean Worley of Azle; mother, Exie Anable of

BROTHER: THOMAS ANABLE, 59, died on Aug. 18, 2012,
in Fort Worth. He never attended RHS since his family
moved when he was four.
Mr. Anable was an accountant for the Rainbow Lounge in
Fort Worth and an incident there was the springboard
for the creation of Fairness Fort Worth, an advocacy
group for gay/lesbian/bisexual/transgender members of
the community. Thomas had been president of the group
since June of 2010. He gained national attention for
anti-bullying campaigns in Fort Worth and assisted The
White House with a televised "Safe Communities" panel
discussion at the University of Texas at Arlington
last year. He is survived by his twin brothers, Perry
& Terry.
