Roy Rayfield

June 10, 2026

Roy Rayfield, 92, of Clinton went home to be with his Lord and Savior on Wednesday, June 10, 2026.

Born Sept. 1, 1933, Roy proudly served his country in the U.S. Army as a member of the 4th Armored, 50th Infantry, where he operated heavy machinery. Following his military service, he devoted more than five decades to the floor-covering industry, building a reputation for steady, reliable work before retiring at age 65.

Roy was a car enthusiast and an avid hunter who often traveled west to pursue big game.

In 1970, Roy made the decision that transformed his life by accepting Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior. For the next 56 years, he remained a devoted member of Farmers Grove Baptist Church. He often said, “God loved me more than the devil hated me.” Those words reflected his unwavering faith and his belief that God’s love, grace and protection were greater than any harm, temptation, attack, or destruction that evil intended.

He was preceded in death by his wife, Betty Lou Rayfield; parents, Ashley and Ella Rayfield; daughter, Vickie Lynn Adkinson and husband, Gary; brothers, Vernard Rayfield, Eulas Rayfield, Oscar Rayfield and Lloy Rayfield; and sisters, Grace Johnson and Nell Rayfield.

He is survived by his sons, Jeffrey Scott Rayfield and Roy Lee Rayfield (Yung); grandchildren, Ashley Kendall and husband, Jason, Crystal Duncan, Min Rayfield and Benjamin Rayfield; great-grandchildren, Autumn, Dustin, Kayleigh, Olivia and Neveah; and several other great-grandchildren.

The family received friends from noon to 1 p.m. Monday, June 15, 2026, at Farmers Grove Baptist Church. The funeral followed with Pastor Bobby Metcalf officiating. The burial followed at Woodhaven Memorial Gardens.

Holley-Gamble Funeral Home is proud to be serving the Rayfield family.
