Anthony Lord

Anthony Ralph Lord, age 77, of Wrightsville, Georgia, passed away peacefully at his home on June 15, 2026.

Born on October 1, 1948, Anthony was the son of the late Ralph Eugene Lord and Evelyn Boatright Lord. He was a hardworking man who loved farming and his family. A lifelong resident of Wrightsville, he was known for his strong work ethic, kind heart, and unwavering devotion to his family. He retired from the kaolin industry in Sandersville, Georgia, after many years of dedicated service.

Anthony was a devoted husband, father, Papa, and friend. He is survived by his beloved wife of 55 years, Pamela Tanner Lord; his children, Anthony Neil Lord (Wendi) and Shae Lord Keyton (Shane); his grandchildren, Brittany Lord Oliver (Will), Kala Lord Wombles (Chad), Mitchell Anthony Lord, Blake Keyton (Brittany), and Zac Keyton; his great-grandchildren, C.J. Wombles, Beau Bryan, Waylon Wombles, Cam Keyton, and K.K. Keyton; his sister, Marsha Lord Warner (John); his special friend, Shirley Taylor; and numerous nieces, nephews, extended family members, and dear friends.

Anthony was a deacon and faithful member of Union Hill Baptist Church, where he served the Lord throughout his life. He enjoyed farming, helping with his son’s logging business, and spending time with his family. Among his greatest joy was his beloved dog, Buddy, who was his constant companion and faithful friend. Though he is no longer with us, we find comfort in knowing that he is now healed and at peace in the presence of his Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

In addition to his parents, Anthony was preceded in death by his brother, Allen Lord.
