Rayna J. Buyle, age 81, passed away peacefully on November 22, 2025, in Clinton Township, Michigan. Born on June 22, 1944, in Detroit, Michigan, Rayna was the beloved daughter of the late Raymond and Virginia Buyle.
Rayna was a loving sister to Ken (Kathy) Buyle, the late Valere (Joan) Buyle, and Jon (Tim) Buyle. She was a cherished aunt to Debbie, Ray, Suzy, Mark, Katie, the late Danny, Mike, Theresa, Jeff, Sandy, and Jenny. She also leaves behind many great-nieces and great-nephews, extended family, and friends—including her dear best friend and neighbor, Barb, who held a special place in her heart.
A woman of simple joys and a generous spirit, Rayna loved playing Yahtzee and euchre, working on word searches, and crafting handmade Christmas ornaments and décor. Her creations have become treasured keepsakes among those who loved her. She had a lifelong affection for the dogs who shared her home, and she was always delighted to hold a baby, offering warmth and tenderness that came naturally to her.
Rayna was an adventurer, traveling throughout the United States, visiting Korea, and exploring parts of Europe. She also spent 15 wonderful winters living in Florida, embracing the sunshine and a relaxed way of life.
Rayna will be remembered for her kindness, humor, creativity, and the deep love she had for her family and friends. Her presence will be profoundly missed and forever cherished.
An instate will occur on Friday, November 28, from 9:30 am until the time of the funeral mass at 10:30 am at St. Margaret of Scotland Catholic Church, 21201 East Thirteen Mile Road, in St. Clair Shores, Michigan.
