Perry George Worster
Perry Worster – husband, father, grandfather, friend – passed away on Friday, May 8, 2020, after a long battle with Alzheimer’s and a much shorter battle with cancer. Perry was born March 10, 1941 in Hallam, Nebraska to George and Pauline Worster. With the exceptions of the two years he spent in Vietnam, serving his nation in the U.S. Army, and the weekdays he spent working in Kansas City to keep his family fed and clothed during the steep recession of the early 1980s, Perry was a lifelong Nebraskan. The consummate outdoorsman, Perry was a hunter, fisherman, gardener, and trapper. In the final summer before Alzheimer’s robbed him of his memory and robbed his family of his gracious and kindly companionship, he and his grandchildren proudly and lovingly grew and harvested more than 800 cucumbers in his little backyard plot. He will be missed. He has been missed.
Preceded in death by his wife of 42 years, Pamela (Johnson) Worster. He is survived by daughters Melissa (Steve) Soukup, Amanda Worster, and Kendra Worster; grandchildren, Emma, John, and Joseph Soukup, and Layton Dush.

Condolences for Perry George Worster
Dear Worster Family,
Condolences on the death of Perry. I have good memories of him. He was a neat and funny guy and a great story teller (e.g. he and his buddy Toby’s duck hunting adventures). I remember when he was a young man he lifted weights and developed his physique (16″ biceps as I recall). We duck, pheasant and coyote hunted with him. He was one of the first men I knew to hunt deer with a bow. We are thankful for Perry’s service to our country as a soldier during the Vietnam War. I am praying for your family during this time of mourning and that God will be with you all.
Revelation 21:4 says “God will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore, for the former things have passed away.”
To Perry’s family, I never met your dad, but bought his house and wanted you to know you are in my thoughts and prayers. Your parents were obviously very well liked and respected by their neighbors.
I don’t have the time to garden, so no longer have the garden, but I donated the garden cages to the church community garden on 40th St. last year. I noticed today they are using the cages again, so wanted to make sure you knew his gardening spirit lives on.
I’m so sorry to hear about your father‘s passing. He was a cousin of mine and I admired him. I know what it was like to lose a parent to Alzheimer’s. My mother, your father’s aunt, Mabel West pasted from Alzheimer’s. It’s a slow hard way to lose a parent. My thoughts and prayers are with you girls. God bless.
I was so sorry to see your Dad’s obituary. I knew Perry when he was a wild & crazy teenager. He & my brother, Toby, did alot of hunting together. He was a funny guy who listened to his own drummer. He was one of the good ones from the West P street “gang”.
We have fond memories of Perry and Pam living next door to us in Lincoln. They will be missed. Condolences to the girls and grandchildren.
