Recent Obituary: Rodney Worden

Rodney Worden, age 74, passed away Wednesday, Jan. 18, 2023, at St. Joseph Mercy Hospital Ann Arbor.

He was born Dec. 22, 1948, in Jackson, Michigan, the son of R.V. and Doris K. (Lehman) Worden. Rodney was the older of twin brothers.

He lived his first year at his grandparent’s home in Munith, before moving to Chelsea with his family in the 1950’s.

At the age of 14, he was injured in a sledding accident, leaving him disabled in his right shoulder and arm. Rodney graduated from Chelsea High School in 1967. His disability did not keep him from working over 30 years in janitorial maintenance at Beach Middle School in Chelsea.

The family will receive friends on Tuesday, Jan. 24, 2-4 and 6-8 p.m. at Cole Funeral Chapel.
