Virginia Mayfield

Virginia Mayfield, 85, died in Lincoln, Nebraska, on September 23, 2024, after a short battle with cancer.

She was born on April 16, 1939, in Chetopa, Kansas, to Claude and Charlotte Mayfield.  She graduated from the University of Arizona with a business degree and worked for Maricopa County, Arizona, in the finance department and later as the superior court's purchaser. Virginia was an avid walker and hiker.  She participated in several half marathons and hiked the Grand Canyon during her retirement years. She had a witty sense of humor and a smile that would brighten a room. Virginia also had a heart for helping others. She was active with her church group, often giving rides to others who no longer drove, and she delivered meals with Meals on Wheels. She had a love for all sports and worked security for the Arizona State University's football and baseball games.

She is survived by her children, Tiffanie (Damian) Leffler, Trey Ross and Piper Ross; grandchildren, Elliott and Dallas Leffler; great grandchild, Brooklynn Ross; and brother, Carl Mayfield. She is preceded in death by her parents, four brothers, five sisters, and grandson, Matthew Ross.
