Raymon Finley

Raymon Morrison Finley, 84, passed from this life on Sunday, September 10, 2023, in Sante Fe, TX.

He was born January 25, 1939, in Atlanta, TX to the union of his parents, Thomas Finley and Louthena (Tate) Finley.

Following his graduation from LaSalle High School in 1957, he went to work in the oil fields as a switcher for over 35 years. Raymon learned the basics of the oil industry from his father. He was fascinated by technology, with all of its fun sounds and interesting lights. Raymon loved gospel music and was a talented singer. He shared his love for singing with his wife, Marilyn. The two enjoyed going to church, watching the granddaughters play softball and spending time with their family. Raymon always put his family first.

A private cremation was conducted under the direction of Hayes Funeral Home, Hitchcock, TX.

He was preceded in death by his parents. Those left to cherish his memory include his loving wife of nearly 19 years, Marilyn Finley; daughter, Donna R. Sunseri (Mike); son, Timothy R. Finley (Julie); grandchildren, Ciara Sunseri, Shelbi Sunseri, Kristin Mayberry (Jimmy) and Laurin Bigford (Jake); and four great grandchildren.
