Born in Conway, he was a son to the late Joseph A. Worm, Sr. and Anna Margaret (Bruck) Worm.
Flowers and plants were Joseph's life and he was a floral designer for over 50 years.
He started loving flowers and plants at an early age and was seventeen when Velma Parker of Idlehour Florist, in Conway, took him under her wing and taught him the floral business.
He was a Navy veteran, who served during the Korean conflict, and a member of Our Lady of Good Council Church in Little Rock, where he was a member of the Holy Name Society and served as an usher.
He was also preceded in death by three sisters, Sarah Parker, Geneva Lovell and Betty Irby; and two brothers, Fredric Worm and Walter Williams.
Survivors include his sisters, Mary Harrell of Conway and Pat Harris and husband Johnny of Quitman; nine nieces and nineteen nephews; sisters-in-law, Evelyn Worm and Joy Williams; a brother–in-law, Joe Dan Parker; and a host of extended family and friends.
