One of the most wonderful people I knew. She and her husband were like JW Hunt, only a lot more reserved. I was fortunate enough to talk to them earlier this year, and thank them for all they have done for auto racing, and everyone involved in it.
what a sad day,mr and mr.s barfield are two of the greatest people you could ever meet, she will be greatly missed,
when ever you saw them they were alway's walking hand in hand,been that way for as long as i can remember.
I became acquainted with the Barfields at the Four Crown Nationals several years ago and had many interesting conversations with them during the races. My mother, who attended her last Four Crown when she was just past ninety-five, really enjoyed talking with Mrs. Barfield. I noticed they weren't in their usual spot this year and I wondered about their status. Always enjoyed talking with Mr. Barfield about his orange groves and his Jaguar cars.
RIP, Mrs. Barfield
Mrs. Barfield, 'Jeff' to insiders, was a genuine lady with a burning passion for sprint car racing. Mr & Mrs Barfield gave much much more than they ever received from racing. Godspeed to her and condolences to the family.
The Barfields have been avid sprint car supporters for many, many years. They sponsored cars and drivers since the 60's if not earlier and were active with the National Sprint Car Hall of Fame since its inception. She will be missed by many in the sport. Condolences to Lee and family
