Obituary for Randal Hosford Wentworth
Randal Hosford Wentworth, 57, of Lexington, Va. crossed over to the happy hunting grounds in Heaven on Saturday, December 24, 2022. Born Thursday, July 29, 1965, in Lexington, Va., son of Stephen Hosford and Rosemary Powley Wentworth.
Randal graduated from Amherst County High School, then went on to serve his country in the United States Army until the year of 1986. He would later serve in the Virginia Army National Guard between the years of 2002 and 2003. As a man of faith, Randal faithfully attended and was a member of Thomas Road Baptist Church, in Lynchburg, Va. He was a dedicated employee of Southern Inn of Lexington, but when he wasn’t at work, he enjoyed numerous activities and hobbies he picked up over the years. Randal was a very talented man with his drawings. He loved to fish, garden, and cook, but his passion was mostly outdoors hunting and camping with his family. He was a proud Hokie when it came to college sports and was also loyal to his beloved Amherst Lancers.
Randal was preceded in death by his biological father, Rufus Hull Bennington.
Left to cherish his memory includes his wife, Rebecca Breeden Wentworth; father, Stephen Wentworth; mother, Rosemary Powley Cole; stepfather, Stephen R. Cole; sons, Hunter Lloyd Wentworth, Randal Lee Wentworth, and Quent Bennington Wentworth; and Randal’s “little buddy,” granddaughter, Oaklynn Nova; daughter, Crystal Leighann Funk (John ) and their four children; stepson, Robert Dane Breeden (Judy) and their son, Paul; brothers, Philip Wesley Wentworth (Lori), Gordon Wayne Wentworth (Karen); sisters, Elizabeth Wentworth Castro (Jesse) and Kathryn Wentworth (Jeff); brothers-in-law, Frank Breeden (Terri) and Russ Breeden; uncle to Megan Kohnen, Abigale Wentworth, Elias Wentworth, Sarah Cannon, Rachel Williamson, Hannah Sexton, Jesse Castro, Matt Potter, Brandon Wentworth, Jon Duckworth, Stephen Duckworth, Rosemary Duckworth; and many great nieces and great nephews.
