Mrs. Hufford was born June 1, 1940 in Munster Township, Pa., 1 of 12 children of the late Edgar and Arvilla McCloskey.

In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her husband, C. Rodney Hufford; and her sister, Anne Burke. She is survived by three sons, C. Rodney and his wife Laura of Ocean View, David M. and his wife Celeste of Smyrna, and Bruce A. and his wife Margie of Dover, DE; 14 grandchildren; five great grandchildren; four sisters, Kathleen, Arvilla, Mary, and Joanne; and six brothers, Edgar, George, Clarence, Joseph, Patrick, and William. A viewing will be held on Saturday, Dec. 22, 2012 from 10 a.m. to noon in the Faries Funeral Chapel, located at 29 S. Main St. in Smyrna, where funeral services will begin at noon.
