Rachel Huffaker

Rachel Huffaker of Tahoka went home to be with her Lord and Savior on Friday, November 1, 2013.  Rachel was born the daughter of Dr. Ralph H. Wells and Edith Wells in New Brunswick, Canada and was raised in Lexington, Massachusetts.  Rachel moved to Tahoka soon after her marriage to the love of her life, the late Wayne Huffaker who passed away April 1, 2013.  Wayne moved Rachel from Boston to Tahoka to live in the middle of a cotton patch to be the wife of a cotton farmer and cattleman.   She and Wayne fought the elements of nature to successfully raise two sons, W. Calloway Huffaker and wife Gretchen and Ralph Huffaker and wife Karen, all of Tahoka.

She loved her grandchildren Kassidi and Davy Stone of Tahoka, B.J. Andrews of Lubbock, and Samantha Andrews of Dallas who called her lovingly as Ray Ray.  She is also survived by her three great-grandchildren, Halle, Marley, and Remington Stone.

Memorial services are scheduled for 2:00 p.m. Monday, November 4, 2013 at St. Christopher’s Episcopal Church in Lubbock.

In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to Lynn County Hospital District Endowment or St. Christopher’s Episcopal Church.
