Susan Mary Mayfield

Susan Jenner Mayfield passed away at her home in Etna, California, on August 5, 2021, after battling cancer. She was born July 5, 1949, to Nell and John "Jack" Jenner, Jr., and grew up on the Wagner/Jenner ranch as a member of the Jenners' fourth generation. She attended Etna Elementary, Etna High School, and CSU Chico. After returning to Scott Valley briefly - working for Siskiyou Telephone - she moved to Redmond, Oregon, where she met and married the love of her life, Ronald Mayfield. The couple raised two children in Redmond: Casey Mayfield and Annie Mayfield Lampella. Casey entered into business with his parents, while Annie pursued degrees from UCD and UOP, with her Pharm D. After spending 20 years in Oregon, Ron and Susan moved south to Scott Valley where they purchased Etna Hardware and where Susan became the primary caretaker for her mother, Nell Jenner Mathews. The couple became involved in local projects. Susan joined Native Daughters of the Golden West, Eschscholtzia Parlor No. 112. One of her pet projects involved the care of the Hallie Daggett cabin, located in Etna's City Park. Susan also served on the Etna Cemetery Board. She and Ron loved traveling through Oregon and Northern California with their children and grandchildren. They enjoyed fishing, hiking, hunting and more, and their garden and yard was a real showplace! After Annie married Scott Valley local, Tyler Lampella, the young couple returned to Oregon where they still live and are raising their two sons. Susan leaves behind her husband of 43 years, Ron Mayfield, and her children, Casey Mayfield and Annie (Tyler) Lampella, as well as two grandsons, Matt and Will Lampella. She also leaves behind two brothers, Doug (Gail) Jenner, and John (Francyne) Jenner, of Etna, plus several stepsisters, stepbrothers, and her stepmother, GloryAnn Jenner. She also leaves behind sister-in-law Sue Mayfield Perrigot and brother-in-law Steve (Kathy) Mayfield, and her mother-in-law, Maxine Mayfield, all of Redmond, Oregon. In addition she leaves behind numbers of nieces, nephews, cousins, and many friends who all loved her dearly. She was preceded in death by her mother, Nell Mathews (2008), her father, John "Jack" Jenner (2018), her stepfather Wm. Mathews (2004), her father-in-law Dick Mayfield (2010), and one stepsister, Heidi Mullis (2018). Susan's service will be held graveside at Etna Cemetery on Saturday, August 21, at 10:00 AM.
