LaJuan Mayfield

LaJuan Green Mayfield passed peacefully on June 10, 2024 in Dallas, Texas. She was born in Terrell, Texas to Bennie and Evelyn Green on September 7, 1938. LaJuan is preceded in death by her parents, husband, Bobby Mayfield; son, Stuart Jeffrey Gale; brothers: Kenneth Green and Danny Green; and her beloved twins. LaJuan graduated from Terrell High School in 1957. She worked for the Terrell State Hospital for many years as an administrative assistant. LaJuan’s work ethic made her invaluable in her positions, such as working for R.B Pool and Tom Snow as a dedicated administrative associate. LaJuan found her home with American National Bank where she worked until her retirement. LaJuan found the love of her life in Bobby Mayfield and were married in 1979. Their love along with family grew and stayed strong, even through Bobby’s passing in 2018. LaJuan could easily be identified as a person full of sunshine. She had a heart full of love for her family and above all, her grandbabies. They hung the moon and stars in her eyes, and she could talk about them for hours. LaJuan also had an affection for her pets. She would treat them as any member of the family and each animal had a special place in her heart. She loved to make embroidered and crochets items for her family and friends. Almost every towel and napkin in her house was embroidered as she did what she loved. She was a dedicated church member and found her home at First Missionary Baptist Church in Terrell, Texas. Left to cherish LaJuan’s memories are her daughter, Jennifer Griffis and husband Kevin; grandson, Connor Griffis; Bob’s sons; Steve Mayfield and wife Sarah and Chris Mayfield and wife Becky; brother, Donnie Green and wife Vickie; sister-in-law, Carolyn Green; special friend and caregiver, Wendy Moore and husband, Bubba and McKenzie Moore; grandchildren: Amanda Hill and husband, Justin, Cory Mayfield, Casey Mayfield and wife Crystal, Dru Mayfield and wife Jacquelyn, Mitch Mayfield, and Matt Mayfield; seven great grandchildren as well as numerous nieces and nephews, extended family and friends that will miss LaJuan very much. The family would like to give a special thanks to the staff at Distinguished Senior Living in Terrell, Texas for taking care of and loving LaJuan. Funeral Services for LaJuan are scheduled for 11:00am, Friday, June 14, 2024 at First Missionary Baptist Church with her family receiving friends beginning at 10:00am to service time. There will be an interment at White Rose Cemetery at 2:00pm following the service.
