The Gonzales City Council on Aug. 3 issued Proclamation No. 2026-08 honoring Council member Lorraine P. Worthy for 35 years of community service and local leadership.
Proclamation text recounted Worthy’s service on the Gonzales Planning Commission (2002–2004), two terms on the city council beginning in 2018, and service on local organizations including the American Legion Auxiliary Unit 81 and the Community Presbyterian Church Food Pantry. The proclamation also cited her role representing Gonzales on regional boards including MST and as an alternate for TAMC and AMBAG.
Worthy responded at the meeting, thanking colleagues and staff and saying she had “lived in this community for 35 years” and has been “blessed to be a part of it” while noting that she and her husband are purchasing a smaller home and will leave Gonzales around Aug. 20 to be closer to family. She praised staff and singled out specific employees by name for assistance in recent weeks.
The council approved the proclamation by voice vote. The council session moved to additional agenda items and later recessed for continued closed-session business.
