In September 1944, Frosty married James Douglas “Doug” Worley in Atlanta, Georgia. The couple moved across the country with Doug’s active service in the Air Force before putting down permanent roots in Nashville in 1972. Frosty was a long-tenured banking professional in the Middle Tennessee community. They were proud and loving parents to James Douglas “Chip” Worley, Jr. and Shirley Jane “Tissy” Worley Harrington. Frosty was a devoted fanatic of the Tennessee Titans and was always excited for football season to arrive.

Frosty and Doug were long- standing beloved members of Westminster Presbyterian Church on West End Avenue.

Her church family celebrated her 100th birthday in June 2024 in spectacular fashion!
