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.
