Glenn Hale Mayfield, age 86, of Russellville, passed away on Tuesday, June 07, 2022 at his residence.
Glenn met Linda Jones when she was only 14 and it was love at first sight. He run the projector at King’s Drive Inn while they were still dating and then they married and spent 66 wonderful years together. Glenn was a part time comedian who never went on the road. He would crack himself up over a joke as well as everyone around him. He was an avid outdoorsman, who loved deer hunting, turkey hunting, and fishing. Glenn worked as a barber in Russellville for many years, went to Texas for 10 years, but came back to Russellville, resumed his job as a barber as if he had never been gone. He was very talented Jack of all trades, very artistic, loved working with leather, and was like an inventor who never got discovered. He was a minister in the Methodist church and later the Nazarene Church in Russellville for many years. Above everything, he loved his Lord, his wife, and his family.
