Elmer Ray Mayfield, 88, passed over on April 27, at home surrounded by his wife and daughters. He was born on April 10, 1934, in Winters, Texas, to Wylie and Jewel Mayfield.

He later moved to San Angelo and attended San Angelo High School where he met the love of his life, Betty Jean Powell. He always said that Goodfellow AFB blessed him when Betty and her family moved here because of the base being located here.

Elmer was an active DE (distributive education) student. A class that prepared him well for his profession. He graduated from San Angelo High School in 1953. Following graduation, he married his high school sweetheart, Betty Jean Powell on October 30, 1953, at the parsonage at Harris Ave. Baptist Church.

While in high school, Elmer began working at J & K Shoes located in the Village Shopping Center selling shoes. He attended San Angelo College after High School. He later went to work at Gabriel’s when it opened in the village. He was to become an accomplished shoe and handbag buyer and purveyor of men’s, women’s, and children’s shoes along with his assistant manager responsibilities. He traveled to New York City, Las Vegas, and Dallas, to bring the latest shoe fashion to West Texas.

After retiring from the shoe business, Elmer attended Howard College to prepare for another service career at the state school. The men he worked with adored him. He would check out a van and would take the men to visit Betty and his dog, Oscar.

Elmer loved people and never met a stranger. He counts not only those he sold shoes to as friends but the old HEB store, the Walmart Neighborhood Center on Knickerbocker, and Trans Texas Credit Union employees as friends. He was always wanting to share good cheer and an uplifting message with everyone he met. He never missed an opportunity to share one of his favorite songs with others.

Elmer was very active in the Lions Club and the recovery community, having had over 43 years of sobriety and sponsoring many young men who still consider him a father figure and mentor.

He loved his God and Savior and was a member of the Christian Fellowship Baptist Church.

In addition to his parents, Elmer is predeceased by his son, David B. Mayfield, grandson, Jason Mayfield, and two brothers, James and Eldon Mayfield. He is survived by his wife of 69 years, Betty Powell Mayfield, their beloved pet dog, Schroeder, daughters Ronda Hayes and husband Larry of San Angelo, and Susan Gill and husband Kevin of Smithville, Texas. He is also survived by six grandchildren, Rowdy Koenig, Stormy Biehl, Zachary Armour, Melissa Zimmerman, Jacob Mayfield, BobbieAnne Carrillo, and seven great-grandchildren. He is survived by siblings Robert Boylan and Judy Benton and nieces.

A special ‘Thank You’ to Dr. Cheruku, the staff and nurses at the Shannon Cancer Treatment Center, and Hospice of San Angelo nurses for his care during his illness.

Celebration of life will be held at Christian Fellowship Baptist Church, 211 W. 17th St, San Angelo, TX 76903; on May 6, 2023 from 2:00 to 4:00 PM.

James Wayne Crowder, of San Angelo, passed away April 27, 2023, after living 79 beautiful years on this earth. He was born December 7, 1943, in California, to parents E.T “Truman” and Iva Crowder.

He graduated from Edison High School in San Antonio, TX. He went on to attend Lubbock Christian College and then Abilene Christian College where he met the first love of his life, Ruthie Allen Crowder. They had 2 beautiful daughters, Michelle and Renee. Ruthie passed in 1992 after a long bout with cancer.

In the spring of 1995, he met the 2nd love of his life, Sherry Jones. They were married on 0ctober 26, 1996. At that time, he gained another beautiful daughter, Angela Jones.

James spent his early years as a “man of the cloth” as he liked to joke, selling high end men’s clothing, first at Gabriel’s, and then as the owner of Crowder’s for the Particular Man clothing store in San Angelo.

After the oil crash in the 80’s he decided to try his hand at real estate, where he became one of the leading realtors in San Angelo.

In 2008, James embarked on another adventure – creating gourmet chocolates – and Sugar Daddy Desserts was born, later renamed Cowboy-Up Chocolates.

His love of marketing and his love for bringing smiles to everyone he met made him a huge success in both business and relationships. His love of God was shared with many through his passion for music, both as a worship minister and as a member of the Embers quartet.

He is survived by his wife, Sherry, his 3 daughters, Michelle Crowder Valentine, Renee Crowder, and Angela Jones Shanks & husband Jimmy Shanks, and his grandchildren, Chelsea and Stephen Valentine, and Arick and Jasen Brooks, as well as many extended family members and friends.

Beverly Sue Wallace, 71, of Mertzon passed away on Thursday, April 27, 2023 at home.

No services have not been planned at this time. Arrangements are under the direction of Robert Massie Funeral Home.

Mrs. Wallace was born on November 2, 1951 in Oceanside, California to Roy and Patricia Berryhill. She spent most of her adult life in San Angelo and Mertzon. Beverly married Larry Ray Wallace on February 12, 1991 in San Angelo. She was the manager at C & W Convenient Store in Mertzon for many years. Beverly loved crocheting blankets for all her grandchildren, fishing and entertaining the neighborhood kids. Her greatest joy was spending time with her family.

She is preceded in death by her husband; and a daughter, Pamela Sue Anderson.

Survivors include seven children, Jimmie O'Brien of San Angelo, Tiffany Moore and husband Gary of San Angelo, Russell O'Brien of Mertzon, Patti O'Brien of San Angelo, Larry Ray Wallace Jr and wife Kerri of Ballinger, William Wallace of San Angelo, and Shalene Rosser and husband Casey of Ballinger; four siblings, Richard Berryhill and wife Threesa of Springtown, Sharon Templer of Ballinger, Kenny Berryhill of Corpus Christi, and Suzanne Berryhill of Missouri; 16 grandchildren and 6 great grandchildren.

Dorothy Eudene was born on January 6, 1932, to Adolf and Eufaula Spradley in Frisco, TX. The eldest of three children, she was raised in Muleshoe, TX and later moved and graduated from Slaton High School. While there, she met the love of her life, Thomas Smith, and later the two married while Tom was on a three-day pass from Ft. Hood. It was a romance for the ages, and she was the treasure of his heart from the time he met her. They were married 68 years at the time of his passing in 2020. Together, they moved to San Angelo, TX while Tom worked for the Santa Fe railroad. Eudene went to work as a bookkeeper at the Foremost Dairy and later worked for several accounting firms. She was a mother to Mike and Jim Tom as well as several foster children. After retirement, she spent several years as the Dorm Mother at Massey Men’s dormitory at Angelo State University. Tom and Eudene moved to Christoval, TX in 1989 where they were deeply involved in the chamber of commerce, local community activities and events, and were ardent supporters of the Christoval Cougars. They enjoyed years of ranch living, carrying grandkids around on “the buggy”, and hosting barbecues and Easter egg hunts. Generally speaking, you could find her in the garden, riding the tractor, or pitching tennis balls to the grandkids. Eudene was active in the church community at Immanuel Baptist Church for years and later at Christoval Baptist. A God-fearing woman of faith, Eudene raised Mike and Jim Tom to love God and His word. She instilled these same foundations within her grandchildren which is evident by the legacy of faith that lives in her sons and their families.

Eudene joyfully entered into the Lord’s presence on April 25, 2023. She was preceded in death by her parents, two infant sons, and her husband. To carry on her legacy, she leaves Mike Smith, wife Penny, their children and grandchildren: Mical and husband, Josh Boness and their children, Jake and Tucker; Peter Smith and wife, Torie and their children, Emmalyn and Hudson as well as son Jim Tom Smith and wife, Chel, their children and grandchildren: Justin and wife, Chelsea and their children Danielle, Josalyn and Kerrigan; Cody; and Rhiannon and husband, Justin Kelso and their children Jadon, Mitzi and Auron. She is also survived by her brother Donald, sister Trena and several nieces and nephews whom she loved and cared for deeply.

A memorial service will be held at Immanuel Baptist Church on Saturday April 29, 2023 at 10:00 AM with burial to follow at Lawnhaven Memorial Gardens.

The family wants to especially thank Gentiva Hospice and the many caregivers that were attentive to her needs over the last few months.

Bobby Glen Peiser, age 91, passed away peacefully on Monday, April 24, 2023, at his home. Although he will be missed, he is rejoicing with his Lord and Savior. He was born February 19, 1932, at home in Veribest, Texas, the second son of C. H. and Bonnie Dell Peiser.

Bobby graduated from San Angelo High School in 1950 and joined the United States Marine Corps. Staff Sergeant Peiser was very proud to serve his country on active duty from 1950 to 1954, and as a reserve for many years following.

He married Dorothy Faye Smith on February 19, 1952 in Mereta, Texas. To this union, three daughters were born.

Law enforcement was his early career choice, becoming a Lt. and a Detective for the San Angelo Police Department from 1956 to 1969. Bobby then became the first Head of Security at Angelo State University, retiring in 1983.

He then began his “full time” job of woodworking, building furniture and cabinets. He was a jack of all trades and there was nothing he couldn’t do.

He loved to run and was a founding father of the Run in the Sun and Road Lizards. He ran many miles in races all over Texas, encouraging many to love the sport of running.

Bobby married Karen Sanders on June 14, 2008, in his beautiful backyard. He learned to love to travel, and they were both very active in their church, Southland Baptist. Together they volunteered many hours teaching ESL, as Sunday School teachers and working with the Soup Kitchen. He also embraced the many ASU Korean exchange students they graciously fostered as grandparents.

Bobby was a man of few words and many talents. He loved plants and scavenging for them to fill his 3 greenhouses and huge yard. He was a Master Gardener, serving as the State President in the past.

Always an artist, many of his unique sculptures, ceramics and artwork are all over the United States, as well as his master woodworking creations.

Bobby was preceded in death by his wife, Dorothy Peiser, his parents, CH and Bonnie Peiser, his daughter, Linda Meyer, siblings, Cliff Peiser, Shirley Boatright and Sandra Kaye Woerner.

Those left to treasure his memory are his wife, Karen Peiser, of San Angelo, Texas, his daughters, Karen Binder (Ed) of Ballinger, TX and Debbie Kennedy (Bill) of Rio Frio, TX., his son-in-law, Robert Meyer, his brother, Bill Peiser of San Angelo, TX, grandchildren, Eric Warner, Tracye Lassus(Rand), Amia Dominquez, Lacy Thomas(Adam), John Binder(Amber), Mackenzie Moon(Steven) and Brittany Batot(Lee). He was idolized by his 14 great grandchildren, foster Korean grandkids, special cousins, Sue and Mike Mitchell and family, many nieces, nephews and special friends.

The family would like to thank Hospice of San Angelo, Kathy Duarte, Concho Valley Master Gardeners, John Begnaud, Clyde Warren and Dennis Trujillo for their help during these difficult times.

Services are being held at Southland Baptist Church in San Angelo, Texas, at 2:00 p.m. on Sunday, April 30, 2023. Arrangements are by Harper Funeral Home.
