Florence Mayfield, age 82, of Cadiz, Kentucky, passed away on Wednesday, July 16, 2025, at Anna Mae Owen Hospice House in Murray, Kentucky.
Born on July 25, 1942, in Louisville, Kentucky, she was the daughter of the late C.T. Bridges and Willa Lee Sharp Bridges.
Florence was a 1960 graduate of Trigg County High School. On May 24, 1961, she married Herbert Mayfield and they were blessed with three children. For many years, Florence was a dedicated employee at Hoover, later Johnson Controls. She also briefly worked as a waitress at Cadiz Restaurant and at Lake Barkley State Park.
Florence was a longtime member of Maple Grove Baptist Church. She loved animals, enjoyed working in her yard and tending to her plants, and always kept an immaculate house, welcoming friends and family alike.
