Rufus was married to Linda Davis for 59 beautiful years, and they had two children together. They stood side by side, creating a warm and loving home for their family, lived a life enriched by a rare and steadfast love, one that carried them through decades of cherished memories that remained strong through every season. Rufus enjoyed many hobbies, including fishing, gardening, and woodworking. He was incredibly talented in everything he did.
Remaining to cherish Rufus' memory are Spouse, Linda Davis; Children Shenea Lancaster (Robert Lancaster), R.H Davis Jr. (Heather Davis); Grandchildren Trevor Harlan, Makayla Davis (Dale McGowan), Lindsey Hale (Ryan Hale), Ashly Hinrichs (John Hinrichs), Cody Lancaster; Great-grandchildren Beau Sagraves, Baby Hale, Colin Hinrichs, Owen Hinrichs; Sibling Jennette Haney; and many Nieces and Nephews.
Preceding Rufus in death are Parents Samuel and Mardell Davis, Siblings Roscoe Davis, Thurman Davis, Doris Glass, Wendell Davis, and Ozell Hill.
We take comfort in knowing that Rufus is now at peace in the presence of the Lord. His faith, love, and gentle spirit will remain with us always, until we are reunited again.
