Robin Bufford, 62, of Conway, Arkansas, passed away on May 28, 2026. At home, surrounded by family and loved ones. Born on March 26, 1964, in St. Louis, Missouri, Robin lived a life filled with love, faith, and devotion to her family.

Robin was the beloved wife of 37 years to Brian Bufford and a dedicated mother to their four children: Brandon, Kasie, Shawna, and Kelsey. She was also a proud grandmother to her cherished grandson Jaxon and three precious granddaughters born this past year —Malia, Josie, and Journey—who brought immense joy to her life. Robin’s extended family included aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends who were touched by her warmth and generosity.

Preceding Robin in death were her parents, James Hayden and Naydean Sexton; her two sisters, Gloria and Anna; and her brother Don. Their memories remained close to her heart throughout.

Robin’s greatest joy came from creating a loving home for her family. She poured her heart into raising her children with care and teaching them the values she held dear. Her faith in the Lord was unwavering and served as the foundation of her life. One of Robin’s most treasured roles was raising her grandson Jaxon from birth 12 now; their bond was extraordinary and brought light to both their lives.

Together with Brian, Robin embraced the adventure of running their Welding and Fabrication business while also working later as independent contractors in commercial transporting across the country. These travels allowed them to experience breathtaking scenery and visit loved ones along the way, they deeply cherished this time together. Yet no matter where their journeys took them, returning home to Jaxon was always the highlight of their travels.

Robin had a vibrant personality that left an impression on everyone she met. She was quick to speak her mind with honesty and passion but always carried a deep love for those around her. She found joy in visiting her family in Kentucky and attending superbike races—a tradition that connected generations of the Hayden family.

Her love story with Brian began in 1987 when they first met at an office where she worked along with his sister. A simple love you note years later from that first time seeing her captured the essence of their connection: “You had me at (is this your brother) Love you always.” This sentiment remained true throughout their years together.

Robin’s legacy is one of love, faith, resilience, and devotion to family. Her memory will forever be a source of comfort and inspiration for those who knew her.

May Robin’s spirit live on in the hearts of all who loved her.
