Josephine (Jo) Stallard Mayfield, a beloved and devoted wife, sister, mother, grandmother, great grandmother and friend, passed away peacefully on September 21, 2024, at the age of 81 while at home surrounded by her family.
Jo was born in Shelbyville, Kentucky on January 16, 1943, to James and Ellen Stallard. Jo will be remembered for her faith, unconditional love, strength of spirit, and an unending generosity that could be seen in her care for her family and friends.
She was an excellent homemaker, bringing warmth and love to make the house a home, always there with a listening ear, a warm embrace, a home cooked meal or gingerbread cookies for the grandchildren to decorate. She loved to watch and cheer on the Astros and University of Kentucky basketball. Jo enjoyed playing golf, gardening, sewing and traveling the world with her husband of 60 years, Jim. She attended both Cypress Bible Church and Conroe Bible Church participating in ladies’ bible studies and Apples of Gold.
Jo’s passing leaves a void in the hearts of those who knew her, but her spirit will continue to guide and inspire us. Her laughter, her love of life, and her ability to make everyone feel cherished will be sorely missed but never forgotten.
Josephine is survived by her loving husband, James Mayfield; sisters Rosemary, husband Bob Taylor and Jean Bledsoe; children, Rhonda Peterson of Carrollton, TX and Renee, husband James Corley of Cotopaxi, CO; grandchildren Elizabeth Corley, Brittany Peterson, Sean Corley and Kyle Peterson; great grandchildren Rebecca and Benjamin Solis.
A memorial service will be held on September 29, 2024, at 3:00 at Conroe Bible Church in Conroe, TX, with the family receiving friends one hour prior. Jo’s final resting place will be at Cashner Funeral Home in the Garden Park Cemetery at a later date.
