Zeno Dean Cranfield, age 84, passed away peacefully on November 8, 2025. He was born on February 27, 1941, to the late Wilburn and Elizabeth Cranfield.

Zeno was a hardworking man who owned and operated his own used car lot for many years. He took great pride in his work and was known for his honesty and dedication. Above all, Zeno loved spending time with his family—those moments brought him true peace and happiness.

He was preceded in death by his parents; his beloved wife; Mary Ruth Cranfield; and his sons; Wesley Dean Cranfield and Marvin Lee Cranfield.

Zeno is survived by his sons; Jessie (Rachel) Cranfield and Stanley Keith (Darlene) Cranfield; several grandchildren and great-grandchildren; and many extended family members and friends who will miss him dearly.

Funeral services will be held on Wednesday, November 12, 2025, at 2:00 PM at Poole Funeral Home, officiated by Pastor David Evans. The family will receive friends on Tuesday, November 11, 2025, from 5:00–8:00 PM at the funeral home. Interment will follow at Stanfield Cemetery.

Pallbearers will be David Perkins, James Morrow, David Childs, Tim Childs, James Jenkins, and James Young.
