Raynie Claire Graves entered into Heaven on Thursday, May 30, 2024. She loved attending church services at Cornerstone Christian Fellowship and she also loved going to school at Wheeler Headstart. She enjoyed singing, tumbling, watching her favorite shows on her iPad, playing at the playground and playing with her Barbie dolls.
Raynie was fearless and had a mind of her own. She was very determined and when she wanted something, she wouldn't stop until she got it. Raynie was never one to enjoy naps or sleeping because she just loved life too much to miss a minute. She was the girliest girlie girl who loved dresses, tiaras and having her nails painted.
Living life was a joy for Raynie and she loved sharing that life with her family, especially her parents and sisters. The bond that she had with her sisters was undeniably special. Raynie was a bright light in this dark world who touched everyone she came in contact with. Her family would be the first to tell you, "it is Raynie's world and we are just living in it."
Services are 12 pm Monday, June 3, 2024 in the Baldwyn Chapel of Kesler Funeral Home with Bro. John Gowen and Bro. Billy Joe Young officiating. Burial will follow in the Sardis Cemetery. Visitation will be 5-8 pm Sunday, June 2, 2024 in the Baldwyn Chapel of Kesler Funeral Home.
