Edward Leon Mayfield
March 22, 1953 – August 25, 2020
Edward Leon Mayfield passed from this life on Tuesday, August 25th, 2020 at his home in Moody, OK, surrounded by his family. He was born on Sunday, March 22nd, 1953 in Exeter, CA, the son of Thorvel and Maxine Mayfield. He grew up with his two brothers and two sisters, Jim Mayfield, Mike Wilson, Dixie McCoy, and Lorinda Ostrander. He was a graduate of Exeter High School and later began earning a living as a Press Operator for Sequoia Pacific in Exeter, CA, where they mass produced ballots, and all types of paper items for industry. Eddie had the personality that made everyone he met his friend, he could carry on a conversation with a perfect stranger. He also knew his own mind and had no problem expressing his thoughts when asked for them. He liked to congregate around his friends and liked spending a little time out at the casino. He was always up for going to Wild Wings or indulging in some tacos at the house. He enjoyed watching a good movie or watching some of the old shows on TV. He would get on the phone and talk forever about all the old times with his cousin, Linda Parks. He had a constant canine companion that kept him company and laid at his feet. He was proud of his children and grandchildren and never tired of hearing what they were up to. His health began to fade and he was confined to bed. He kept his smile and would flash it at you from time to time. He passed at the age of 67 years, 5 months and 3 days. He will be greatly missed.
Eddie is preceded in death by his grandparents, his Mom and Dad, one son, Wesley Mayfield, one brother, Mike Wilson and one sister, Dixie McCoy.
Those left to cherish his memory include his four children, Tonya Lambert and husband Bryant of Visalia, CA, Jennifer Ann Harr of Maine, Eddie J. Mayfield of Maine, and Ian Lee Shaw of Clovis, CA, he leaves one brother, Jim Mayfield and wife Wanda and one sister Lorinda Ostrander and husband Bob of the home in Moody. He lives on through his six grandchildren, Kayla Lambert, Wesley Lambert, Jesse Lambert, Kalon Mayfield, Brooklyn Shaw and Zoe, two great grandchildren, Elly Rain and Benny Blue, as well as many nieces, nephews, cousins and a host of friends and loved ones too numerous to mention.
The family would like to take this time to thank the wonderful staff of Hometown Hospice especially the nurses, Amanda, Paula and Candy and the Chaplain, Alan, for all their loving care. Eddie would like you to remember him, and his smile and his love for life with “Til we meet again.” At Eddie’s request, there are no services planned.
