She lived her life for the Lord, her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Ms. Bufford retired from the Cobb County Board of Education Food Service and from Aramark Food Service.

She demonstrated the true meaning of a wonderful Godly Mother and provided her children with unconditional love as both a mother and father. She especially loved holidays, family gatherings, cooking and fellowship with her church family. She could always be found at any event her grandchildren participated in as their “biggest” supporter and fan! Her favorite professional sports team was the Atlanta Braves.
