Visitation is tonight from 6-9 p.m. at O’Neil Funeral Home if Corbin, Ky. Funeral services are Thursday at 1 p.m. at Grace on the Hill UMC. Burial will follow at Cumberland Memorial Gardens.
Mr. Barfield was born January 7, 1932 in Pine Bluff, Ark. to Homer and Eunice Barfield. He graduated from Mississippi College in 1956 and commenced a long, successful career with the JC Penney Company, managing the store in Corbin, Ky. from 1967 to 1975.  In 1975 his Aunt Ethel Smith asked him to return to Mississippi to run the daylily farm and care for his invalid grandmother. He and Kathryn opened Kathryn's of Yazoo, an elegant ladies' store in Yazoo City. They were members of First Baptist Church while living in Yazoo City.
After the death of his aunt, Ethel Smith of Satartia, Earl and Kathryn opened a bed and breakfast at No Mistake Plantation.  Earl was well-known throughout the South for his daylily expertise, which drew many daylily lovers from many parts of the country to No Mistake Plantation. In 1995 they returned to Corbin for a happy retirement.
He was preceded in death by his wife, Kathryn Ball Barfield; and three of his four siblings.
Survivors include his sons William “Bill” Barfield (Vicky) and James “Jay” Barfield (Kim), and their six children, Mary Katherine, Marshall, Rebekah, Leeanna, Benjamin and Daniel; a brother, Jimmy C. Barfield, USMC Rt. (Grace); as two nieces and six nephews.
The family extends particular gratitude to dear friends Bob and Maxine Eckert, Dave and Pat Huff, and to Earl's faithful nurse and caregiver Carolyn Sue Engle. Without these special people Earl's final years would have been much harder and less rewarding.
Memorials may be made to the building fund at Grace on the Hill UMC.
