Almeida Ratliff Workman

Almeida "Skeet" Workman left this world to be with her Savior Jesus Christ Friday, November 3, 2023. She will be tremendously missed but family and friends rejoice that she is with the Lord. Skeet is survived by her husband of 62 years, Don Workman, and two sons. David and wife Melissa of Shallowater, and Mark and wife Diana of San Antonio. Grandchildren who will miss her are Elise Workman Slaughter and husband Shaun of Lubbock, Quince Workman of Austin, Neal Workman and Juliana Workman of San Antonio. She is also survived by a brother Alan and wife Elizabeth of Frisco. Skeet, following her family's long tradition, was active in politics on all levels. From the grassroots precinct chair level, up into the state and national levels. She was always working to promote and preserve conservative Christian values in America. She served on boards for the State of Texas including the School Tax Assessment Practices Board and Texas Commission on the Status of Women. She served on several committees for the national Southern Baptist Convention (SBC), including the Denominational Calendar committee, the Ethic and Religious Liberty Commission, and served as a long-time member of the International Mission Board all to share the love of Christ around the world. She, along with her husband Don, worked to help start the conservative Southern Baptists of Texas Convention (SBTC). She served on the executive board, several committees, and for a while, edited the newspaper "Plumbline" for the SBTC. Skeet has been active on various political and faith-based causes most of her life, but one of the most important and rewarding efforts was the Pray America group at Southcrest Baptist Church. As many as 48 people from 11 churches come together to pray for America. Because she has never been what you'd call bashful - in life or about her faith - Skeet always had a "Four Spiritual Laws" tract in her purse or pocket. She always wanted to tell people how to be saved. From restaurant staff, political candidates or even strangers on the street, she always made sure to share the Word. She loved God, husband, family, church, country and friends more than words can ever convey! Skeet was preceded in death by her parents, O.B. and Irene Ratliff. The family suggests memorials be made to Southcrest Baptist Church TV Ministry.
