Will Be Missed
Lewis Woodrow Hatfield (Woody) was born November 4, 1912 in Mapleton, Utah the youngest son of Joseph and Sarah Lewis Hatfield. He passed away peacefully on December 23, 2004 at his home in Springville.
Woody lived on the farm in Mapleton for the early part of his life. After his father died he with his mother and sisters moved to Springville. He graduated from Springville High School in 1930. He married Raynor Park on August 7, 1935. Their marriage was later solemnized in the Salt Lake Temple. She passed away June 30, 2001 after 66 wonderful years together.
Dad's first love was farming but his paying job was an iron-worker at Ironton until they shut down and then retiring at age 65 from Geneva Steel. He was an avid reader and was well versed in many subjects. His hobbies were hunting and fishing. He took pride in all that he did whether it was farming, building or fixing up his home, and caring for his many animals.
Mom and dad belonged to the Dancing Friends Club and to a group that vacationed in their motor homes and campers.
He has given his children a love of music, as we all remember the long car rides and listening to his beautiful tenor voice. He enjoyed attending church and temple, going for car rides in the mountains and watching his grandchildren play sports.
Woody was able to spend his remaining days in the family home thanks to the loving care of his daughter Laurie Crandall and her family. The family would also like to thank Maureen Mangum for the many years of loving kindness and service.
Of course, being the youngest son and living to age 92, he was preceded in death by his parents and all of his siblings. His brothers were Clarence, Douglas, George, Vern, Elmer and Robert. His sisters were Stella Sabin, Mable Hiatt, and Bessie Hatfield.
He was also preceded in death by a son David J. Hatfield.
Woody is survived by his children, Marjorie (Dix) Davis American Fork, Joyce (Jess) LeaMaster Kirkland Washington, Connie (Bill) Child. Dennis (Peggy) Hatfield, Springville, Ron (Gloria) Hatfield, Payson, Laurie (Danny) Crandall, Springville.
He'll be remembered for being a kind and gentle husband, father and grandfather.
