Welene Worthington Goller

Welene Worthington Goller, born on November 19, 1935, recently of Williamsburg, Virginia and previously of Bethesda, Maryland, passed away on June 25, 2019. She was preceded in death by her mother, Ardela Shipley Worthington, and her father, Hall Vincent Worthington. Welene is survived by her loving husband of almost 63 years, Karl R. Goller; daughters, Leslie Ardela Goller and Karlene Worthington Goller (Jim Newton); grandson, Wesley Worthington Dillingham (Andrea); great-granddaughter, Lilah W. Dillingham; brother, Hall Vincent Worthington, III (Joan); nephews Hall Vincent Worthington, IV (Angela) and Montgomery Woods Worthington (Julie); grandnephew, John D. Worthington; and cousins, Emma P. Clark (Ralph) and Michael L. Ulm (Karen).

Before retiring, for nearly 50 years, Welene was a real estate broker in D.C., Maryland, and Virginia with her own real estate company and later associated with W. C. & A. N. Miller Realtors. She was beloved and trusted by her clients and was an early lifetime member of the Multi-Million Dollar Sales Club.

Welene was a voracious reader and true Anglophile (favoring Scotland of course!), although she was proud of her western heritage, having been born at Ft. Laramie, Wyoming and raised in Frederick, Oklahoma. Welene attended the University of Tennessee, where she pledged and wore the Pi Beta Phi arrow. She was a member of the United Methodist Church, the Daughters of the American Revolution, and the Daughters of the Confederacy. Welene was an avid gardener and she loved to travel, which she did with great frequency and adventure with her husband Karl in their retirement.
