Woodrow Huguley

Woodrow “Woody” Huguley, born May 16, 1934, departed this Earth for his Eternal Home with Jesus on January 19, 2024. He is preceded in death by his parents, Herbert & Erie Mae Huguley, his brother, Lenwood Huguley, a sister, Mildred Huguley Massey and a daughter-in-law, Kim Hill Huguley. Woody retired from Wood-Fruitticher Grocery Company after 40 years of dedicated service. In 1990, at the age of 56, Woody attended the dedication of his then 6-week-old grandson to The Lord. At the end of the service, Woody took off his jacket, laid it on the pew, walked down the aisle and told Dr. Wayne Scott, pastor of 85th St Baptist Church (later becoming Deerfoot Baptist), “I’ve been a fool long enough.” At that moment, Woody embarked on his new life in Christ becoming a faithful servant to the Church until in very recent years his body and mind would no longer allow him to attend. Woody would often say, “If I could do life again, I would marry Janell again, I would work for Wood-Fruitticher again and I would become a Christian much sooner.” He leaves behind the bride of his youth and the love of his life, Janell Weston Huguley, after almost 68 years of marriage. Also, his son, Ronny (Cindy) Huguley of Pinson, daughter, Donna (Charlie) Bailey of Trussville. Three grandchildren he adored: Danielle (Garrett) Carter of Trussville, Woody (Stephanie) Huguley of Augusta, GA, Hannah (Caleb) Mills of Nashville, TN. There are 4 great-grandchildren that didn’t get to know “the real Papa Woody” but he knew them and loved them: Bailey Carter, Oliver and Alina Huguley, Halle Mills and Halle’s soon-to-be sister. His cup runneth over. Woody also leaves behind his sister, Linda Huguley Bostick and a host of friends from Church, Wood-Fruitticher and every door he walked through. Many of his Friends-in-Christ had gone before him. We know there was quite a reunion the day he arrived in Heaven. We will miss him until we join him. In lieu of flowers, if desired, a donation may be made to Deerfoot Baptist Church to the Homebound Committee, to aid them in their incredible service to their Church members that can no longer attend. Your acts of kindness did not go unnoticed!
