In remembrance of Rubin “Papa T”, “RT”, Traylor, born May 8, 1941 to the parentage of Rubin and Ester (Doddy) Traylor. His life’s journey began in Cason, Texas, surrounded by the love of his brothers and sisters. Rubin’s formative years were shaped by the profound values of God, family, and hard work. Growing up in the close-knit community of Cason, RT absorbed invaluable life lessons from his parents.

RT is preceded in death by his parents, Rubin and Ester Traylor; brothers, Wayne and Billy Joe; and sister, Bessie Fay.

We also take a moment to honor the memory of Almarie (Smith) Traylor, who was married to Rubin for 30 years. To this union no children were born. Rubin transitioned from this world, leaving behind his loving wife, Alice, of 27 years. They shared a life in Longview, Texas.

Left to Cherish His Memory: brothers, Calvin (Yvette) and Sonny (Lois) of Dallas, Texas, Larry (Judy) of Quitman, Texas, Eddie of Cason, Texas; sisters, Mildred Hanson and Jo Ann Mathews of Cason, Texas, Patsy (Willie) Lett of San Antonio, Texas; and a host of nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends.

Rubin’s legacy lives on through the love and lessons he shared with his family and friends. As we reflect on his life, let us honor RT for his steadfast love, strong familial ties, and dedication to hard work – a source of inspiration for all fortunate enough to have known him.

Rubin received an early education at Central Grove School, Cason, Texas and later attended J.J. Rhoades High School, Daingerfield, Texas.

Rubin retired from U.S. Lone Star Steel, Lone Star, Texas after 35 years of service.
