William Henry Stanfield, age 78, left this life peacefully Wednesday, November 25th, 2015 in Tuscumbia, Ala. His final days were spent lovingly surrounded by his family and close friends. Henry faced his death with the same calm acceptance and courage with which he lived his life.
During his lifetime Henry developed a broad range of interests and became skilled in everything he attempted. Henry was a master mechanic, heavy equipment operator, truck driver and a logger. Most importantly, he was a man of faith. That knowledge gives us the peace in knowing we will see you again.

He was preceded in death by his father, Riley Stanfield; mother, Vivian Stanfield; first wife, Betty Stanfield; second wife, Marilyn Stanfield; brother, Hillard Stanfield; sisters, Cora Willingham (Leo) and Diane Stanfield.
