Mr. Walter Huguley, 90, of Lanett, AL, departed this life on Tuesday, June 13, 2023 at the family home with family and friends at his side. Walter Huguley was born January 4, 1933, in Chambers County, Alabama.
Walter accepted Christ as his personal savior and united with the Evening Spring Baptist Church at an early age. He graduated from Lanier High School in 1952.
