Her Daddy referred to her as " a ray of sunshine". She was a tireless caregiver to her parents. She loved her boys, Hogan and Michael. In later years the Lord gave her another bonus son, Hunter. He came along with Shane, who was the love of her life. They were to be married in the near future. She was "GiGi" to Mikaela, Addyson,Maddeline, Kiersten, and Aaron. After she retired, her grandchildren occupied most of her time. She loved them dearly, and they loved her. "Gina", as those who were close to her called her, loved life. It was the simple things that made her heart smile; baking pound cakes for friends, riding four-wheelers at the hunting club, playing with the kids, laughing, and occasionally driving to the beach, just to eat seafood and then turning around and coming home. A life well lived. We will miss her. Her Mom and Dad: C.E. and Karen; her son, Hogan Benton Buffkin and wife, Katie; her sister, Roxane Holbrooks and husband, Chip; her daughter in law, Kim Buffkin; and her former husband, Mike Buffkin She is predeceased by her son, Michael Buffkin and her sister, Rhonda Rabb.
