Elva (Miller) Hatfield

Elva Hatfield, 91, of Coal Mountain, departed this life on Saturday, May 11, 2019, from her residence.

Born July 7, 1927, at Red Jacket, she was the daughter of the late Tolva and Pricie Miller.

Elva was a loving person who always had a smile on her face. The matriarch of her family, she devoted her life to caring for her family. Elva attended the Big Cub Missionary Baptist Church when she was able. Throughout her life, she held several job positions working as a school cook, a postal worker, and a truck driver. In her spare time, Elva enjoyed gardening and solving crossword puzzles.

A memorial service will be held on Saturday, May 18, 2019, at 2:00 pm at the Big Cub Missionary Baptist Church with Rev. Louie Collings and Rev. Alvin Browning officiating. The family will receive friends from 12-2 pm.

To honor Elva’s wishes, her remains have been cremated.
