Services will be held at 2:00 p.m. Monday, October 7, 2013, at the First Baptist Church of Sand Hill, for Mr. Grady Edmond Walley, 90, of Richton, who went home to be with our Lord on October 2, 2013 at his home surrounded by his loving family.

Serving as pallbearers will be Nathan Walley, Tyler Nichols, Gary Wade, Heath Nicholson, Neil Byrd, Don Fulmer and Hunter Jones as alternate.

Mr. Grady, as he was affectionately known to many, spent the majority of his career as a Vocational-Agriculture teacher at Sand Hill School. Following his retirement, he spent several years as the maintenance supervisor for the Green County Court House. His unique gift of humor and a willingness to serve, led him to add flavor to talent shows, pageants, football games, and anywhere a laugh, a musician, or an emcee was needed. He proudly served his country in the U.S. Navy in the Pacific theater of WWII. His service also, carried him into the Korean Conflict. He was a faithful and dedicated lifelong member of the First Baptist Church of Sand Hill.
He was preceded in death by his parents, Buford Alexander and Rena Elizabeth Walley, and an infant son.

He is survived by his beloved wife of 66 years, Marilyn Beard Walley of Sand Hill; two sons, David Walley of Grand Bay, AL and Brent Walley of Sand Hill; two daughters, Lisa Walley and Theresa Byrd, both of Sand Hill; eight grandchildren and four great-grandchildren.

Visitation will be from 5:00 p.m. until 9:00 p.m. Sunday, October 6, 2013 at Jones & Son Funeral Home in Richton.
