Mrs. Barbara Anne Rayburn
March 6, 1939 - April 26, 2022
Barbara Anne Ashley Rayburn of Ruxton, MD, passed away peacefully at home on April 26, 2022. Barbara was a born and bred Baltimorean attending Eastern High School and further studied at what was then Towson State University. She married the love of her life, A. Kent Rayburn, at a ripe early age of 18 years, forging life together for the next 65 years. Barbara and Kent spent their early married years in Charlottesville, VA where Kent pursued his architecture degree at the University of Virginia before moving back to Baltimore to settle and raise their family. Family was everything to Barbara and she was lovingly devoted to her family of five children – Linda (Riina), Eric , Scott , George and cherished departed daughter Anne, who passed away in 2005, but whose spirit still lives on. “Grammy” was beloved by her 10 grandchildren, Caroline and Andrew Riina, Sarah and Hannah Rayburn, Matt, Gavin, Colin and Mackenzie Rayburn, and Will and Leigh Rayburn, and blessed with 6 great-grandchildren, Sofia, Enzo, Matteo, Macke, Olivia and Sloane.
