Born in Union County on May 4, 1944, Ray was the son of the late Rev. George and Louise Huggins. He was also preceded in death by his beloved wife, Hilda Ingold Huggins, in 2019.

He is survived by his two daughters, Cindy Griffin (Tony) and Teresa Gordon (Lonnie); grandchildren, Candice Shuey (Brandon), Troy Griffin (Gracelyn), Lexi Gordon, Abigail Gordon, and Ellie Gordon; and great-grandchildren, Natalie, Tripp, and Kai. He also leaves behind his brother, Edwin Huggins (Sharon), and nephew Randy Huggins (Sharon).
In keeping with Ray’s wishes, there will be no formal services. In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to Stanly Funeral and Cremation Care, 1835 Badin Rd., Albemarle, NC 28001, who is proudly serving the Huggins family during this time.
