Billy Ray Hutchens

Billy Ray Hutchens, 77, went to be with his Lord and Savior Jesus Christ on Friday, October 24, 2014.

He was born on June 14, 1937 to Wesley James Hutchens and Cynthia Julia Hampton Hutchens in Yadkin County.

He and his wife, Cleo, are members of Northwoods Baptist Church where Bill faithfully served as a deacon, Sunday school teacher, and choir director.

Harmon (Todd), and Sandra Hutchens; grandchildren, Katie and Clark Harmon, and Amanda Ball; brother, Don Hutchens; niece, Cindy Sloan (Joe); nephew, Tom Hutchens (Elisha); and many other nieces and nephews.
