Albert Hatfield Obituary
Born on February 17, 1930 to Ed and Emma Hatfield in Welch, West Virginia, Albert (known as Al) lived a life defined by his unwavering faith in God, deep kindness, and a steadfast commitment to service. He proudly served in the United States Marine Corps before dedicating his career to the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power, where he worked as a respected foreman.
Al was married to the love of his life, Eleanor Patricia Hatfield (Pat), for 71 years - a testament to enduring devotion and partnership. Together they built a family rooted in love, integrity and strength.
He is survived by his beloved wife, Pat, his daughter Deborah and her husband Darrell, granddaughters Emilie and her husband Steve, Roxana and her wife Sasha, and great-granddaughters Lily, Chloe and Rylie. He was preceded in death by his son, Daniel.
Al's presence was a quiet but powerful force in the lives of those who knew him. He will forever be remembered for his faith, humility and deep care for others.
Al will be cremated, and a celebration of life will be held on July 5, 2025 at the family home. To send flowers to the family or plant a tree in memory of Albert, please visit our floral store.

Al was a neighbor when I was growing up. He was always happy and loved doing projects around the house. He made the best tree house ever for Deborah and Daniel. I am glad I visited with Al and Pat a few years ago and loved hearing the story about how they ended up in to California. My condolences to Pat and the rest of the family. . Mary D

Al Hatfield was one of the finest men I have ever known. His life was a testament to his family, to his wife Pat and to his God. We who are left behind will surely miss Al in the days, months and years to come. He is resting with his Savior!
