HATFIELD, Shirley

The Payson Roundup, Payson, Arizona, Tuesday, November 11, 2014 Shirley Hatfield, 75 of Star Valley, Ariz., passed away unexpectedly after a long battle of heart disease at Banner Heart Hospital in Mesa. She struggled with throat cancer and painful back in her last years. Her curiosity and love for gardening and reading was only topped by her love for her family. She was one hell of a lady that will never be able to be replaced. Shirley leaves behind her husband, Lloyd; children, James (Teena) Stewart and daughter, Vicky Jones; 23 grandchildren and nine great-grandchildren; her sister, Sharron McFarland; and her shadow, “Yogi.” Also surviving are her special friends, Lisa Salmon, Merlin Tillson and many others; three adopted children, Hank of Denver, Colo., Mark of Chicago, Ill., and Cindi of Phoenix, Ariz. There will be a memorial for her at noon, Saturday, Dec. 6 at the American Legion, 709 E. Highway 260, Payson, Ariz. Everyone’s welcome. Please come and give this special lady a tribute.
