Edna Donna Spencer Mayfield, age 95, died peacefully on April 20, 2009 in Provo, Utah at the home of her stepson Craig K. Mayfield. She earlier expressed her feelings of passing from this life as “my next great adventure!”

She was born May 11, 1914 in Aberdeen to Edward Walter Spencer and Minnie Marie Smith Spencer, along with her twin brother Edwin. They were the youngest of six children. She married John Bowman Mayfield (also of Aberdeen) on April 3, 1942 in Roseburg, Ore., where they were both working.

After graduating from high school in Tacoma, she became a bookkeeper. She worked for many business firms, the longest being

17 years at Kendall Motors in Eugene, Ore.

When John retired, they moved to Whidbey Island, north of Seattle. Edna was a great humanitarian, giving service as a pink lady in the local hospital, and assisting at the public library and

St. Peter’s Lutheran Church with her bookkeeping skills.

After John’s passing, Edna found she loved to travel and often went with friends to far- away places in Europe as well as in the United States.

Edna had lived in Aberdeen and Tacoma; Roseburg, Portland and Eugene, Ore.; and Whidbey Island. She spent her last nine years in northern Utah with Craig and Elaine’s family.

She is survived by stepchildren Barbara Jean, (Hawaii), Craig (Provo, Utah), and Paul (Olympia); nieces and nephews Joe Churchill Jr. (Anchorage, Alaska), Michael Spencer (Sherwood. Ore.), Eileen Jensen (Grapeview), Carol Scott (Aberdeen), Nadine Petrich (Aberdeen), Edward Forbis (Aberdeen), Robert Forbis (Ferndale), Jo Rogers (Redmond, Ore.), and many of the next generation.

The funeral service will take place at 1 p.m. Saturday, May 30 at the Fern Hill Cemetery mausoleum, Aberdeen. She will be interred there next to her husband, John B. Mayfield. A memorial gathering to honor Edna will be held following the funeral service at Duffy’s Restaurant (1605 Simpson Ave., Aberdeen).
