Gayline "Rae" Leafty, 80, of Sedalia, MO, passed away peacefully on October 16, 2024. Born on August 25, 1944, in Montpelier, ID, she was the beloved daughter of Leo and Leona (Robison) Weaver, who preceded her in death.

On May 12, 1966, Rae married George David Leafty in Salt Lake City, UT. Together they built a life filled with love and devotion until his passing on November 8, 2011.

A devoted member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Rae actively participated in her faith community. She served on a Family History Service Mission in Salt Lake City and completed three missions in Sedalia, where she was currently serving. Rae cherished her time spent at various LDS Temples and was deeply committed to her church.

Above all, Rae was a loving wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, and friend. Her warmth and kindness touched the lives of everyone she met, and she will be greatly missed by her family and friends.

Rae is survived by her children: Corey Leafty of Lava Hot Springs, ID; Carla Leafty of Santa Rosa, CA; Cordell Leafty (Stefanie) of Sedalia; and Marc Leafty (Courtney) of Hampton, VA.

She also leaves behind her brothers, Gary Weaver (Sandy) of South Weber, UT, and Ron Weaver (Sharon) of Pocatello, ID, along with many nieces, nephews, and cousins.

Rae was preceded in death by her husband, parents, a brother, Warren Weaver, and a sister-in-law, Diane Weaver.
