Billy Ray Eudy, 90, of Veribest, passed away peacefully at his home on Saturday, April 3, 2021.
He was born on August 14, 1930, to Houston “Doc” LaFayette and Opal (White) Eudy in Carnegie, Oklahoma.

On February 11, 1961, he married Peggy McCleskey in San Angelo at the Lakeview Methodist Church. After retiring from farming, he kept himself busy by painting houses for many years, and even later, he enjoyed mowing yards. Billy loved playing all of the old gospel hymns on his harmonica, guitar, or even the banjo at the Veribest Methodist Church at Jammin’ for Jesus. He was the oldest and longest attending member of the Veribest Methodist Church.
