Rayford Presley Obituary
--------------
Rayford E. Presley Sr.
March 12, 1947 - December 20, 2024
Rayford E. Presley Sr. passed away peacefully on December 20, 2024, in Red Level, Alabama, at the age of 77.
Rayford E. Presley Sr. was happily married to his beloved wife Margie Presley on December 30, 2013.
Throughout his life, Rayford cherished his family above all else, often referring to them as his "circle." Though he described it as small, the love within that circle was boundless and enduring. He was deeply loved and treasured by those closest to him until his final day.
Rayford shared a timeless and unwavering bond with his beloved wife, Margie Presley. He was cared for with immense devotion by his daughter Pamela Snell and her husband Edward Snell, who remained by his side throughout his journey.
He will be profoundly missed by his wife Margie Presley; children: Pamela Snell (Edward), Bobby Lackey (Kim), Lori Bennett, Robin Moates, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren, who were blessed to share in the beauty of his life and the love he so generously gave. Though his circle may have been small, the impact of his love extended far beyond its bounds.
May Rayford's memory bring comfort to all who knew him and serve as a reminder of the enduring power of love and family.
