Winton Worth Obituary (1940 - 2025)

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Winton Francis Worth on Saturday, December 6, 2025, at the age of 85, surrounded by his loving family in Silverdale, WA. He was born on May 19, 1940, in Hollywood, CA, to Weert and Ruth Worth. He was predeceased by his parents, his oldest brother Paul and his younger brother Leland. He served in the US Navy for 29 years and served his country with honor and pride. When he retired from the Navy, he worked for the Civil Service and later at Lockheed Martin as a Calibration Technician. Winton was a dedicated, loyal and loving husband to Cornelia for 41 years. He left behind his sons, Wayne and Robert and his only daughter, Amelia. He was also a proud grandfather to Anastasia, Jarod, Karly and Simone. He is survived by his youngest brother, Allen. Winton was a big fan of sports. He enjoyed watching baseball, football, basketball, golf, soccer, hockey, horseracing, and even sumo wrestling. He was a champion bowler and cross-country runner. At the age of 70, he competed at the Poulsbo, WA Half Marathon and won 1st place in his age category, for three consecutive years, from 2010 to 2012. Aside from his family, his happiness comes from the sea. He enjoyed sailing, fishing, crabbing, shrimping, and clamming. He loved to share his catch with his neighbors and friends. Towards the end of his life, he started to appreciate the simple things in life. He loved sitting outside and enjoy the beauty of the sunset whether it was sunny or cloudy. He loved watching the boats and ships pass by. He marveled at the eagles soar high in the sky and land up close at the top of a nearby tree. Every day, he thanked God for waking up to another day and hope that there will always be another tomorrow. Winton lived a full and meaningful life. The happiness that he brought to our family and friends will always live in our hearts. His warm smile, laughter, his great sense of humor, and his generosity will be missed not just by his loved ones, but also his two cats. His life and his legacy will always serve as an inspiration to those who knew him. We are thankful for all the precious memories that we shared together, and we hope that someday we'll see each other again.
