He was born in Goose Creek, TX and moved to Almeda, TX where he met his wife Carolyn when they were in their early teens. They both attended San Jacinto High School and married in San Francisco, CA as Dad was in the Navy and a veteran of WW II. After the war, he returned to Almeda, TX and went to work for 40+ years at HL&P which is now Center Point Energy. He was a Mason and a member of the Holland Lodge. He was also a member of Almeda United Methodist Church. Darrell and Carolyn raised their two children in Almeda, TX which is now part of Houston. Darrell is survived by his wife of 68 years Carolyn. He is also survived by a daughter Carla (Cork) and a son Darrell (Dandy). Mackie Jones and Isaac Mayfield are Dads grandchildren and he has three beautiful great granddaughters Lauren, Audrey, and Caroline Jones.

So sad to hear.We lived across the street from his mother. He was always over at her house mowing the yard and taking care of her. We had a big garden and i always gave him fresh veggies. He was a very nice person and always watching out for everybody. We moved to Pearland TX in 1982 but we went back to mow our lot and he would always drive by and stop and chat. May he rest in angels arms..

I worked with Darrell from the early 70's through the time he retired. He was an amazing man and a great friend. Whether doing his job or socializing, Darrell was always a warm and friendly person, who had an almost magical calming effect on people. This man will be remembered by many. And, I will cherish the friendship we had for all of my remaining days.
May peace be with Carolyn and family, knowing what a good man he was.

I will keep the family in prayer; I knew Mr. Mayfield at HL&P from 1975 until 1988. I would see him work his yard on Anderson RD. at home and he always treated me with respect and always had something nice to say to me. May God bless him in his kingdom. Darrell Newton, Houston, Tx.
