Martha Frances Rayborn

Martha Frances Rayborn passed away after a life marked by love, service, and deep devotion to her family and community. She was a devoted wife, mother, grandmother, sister, and friend whose warmth and kindness left a lasting impression on all who knew her.

Martha was truly a people person. As a longtime hairdresser, she didn’t just style hair—she built relationships. Her customers were more like family, and she took great pride in serving her community and being a familiar, welcoming face to so many. She loved her work and the connections it brought into her life.

A devoted member of Baxterville Baptist Church, Martha cherished her faith and especially loved hearing her husband sing at church, a joy that filled her heart with pride and love. Family was at the center of everything she did. She delighted in cooking, hosting family meals, and opening her home for holidays and gatherings. Bringing people together was her greatest joy, and her home was always a place of comfort, laughter, and love.

Martha had a deep love for animals, especially her dogs, who were constant companions and a source of happiness in her life. She was a loving and devoted mother and grandmother, finding purpose and fulfillment in caring for her family and nurturing relationships.

She was preceded in death by her loving husband, Selvyn Rayborn; stepson, Tally Rayborn; grandson, Jamie Brown; her parents; sister, Diane Lee; and brother, Allen Ray Rawls.

She is survived by her son, James Randal “Randy” Brown; stepson, Todd (Tammy) Rayborn; stepdaughter, Tonya (Rick) Carney; grandchildren, Jessica Sealy, Kathlene Daughdrill, Joci Rayborn, and Jared Rayborn; sisters, Jessie Lynn Miller and Wanda Harris; several grandchildren, and numerous nieces and nephews, along with a host of extended family, friends, and the many lives she touched through her kindness and generosity.
