Dr. Avis Yvonne (Mason) Satterfield, of New Market, passed at home Wednesday. She attended the University of Minnesota in Duluth, the University of the Philippines, UAH and MTSU and received all three of her degrees summa cum laude. Dr. Satterfield taught at Grissom High School, the University of Alabama in Huntsville and Calhoun Community College. She loved teaching and loved her students. She was proud of them and loved to hear about their accomplishments in life. Her main focus, however, was spiritual. From her youth, she lived for the Lord. She was a mentor to people young and old. She was the person who was sought out when counseling, prayer, or a shoulder to cry on was needed. She knew the Bible and could quote exactly the scripture needed to comfort and enlighten. She was the rock of our family. She dearly loved her husband of almost 64 years and wanted to be at his side wherever he was stationed. They would have been married 64 years as of December 30, 2014. In her last years she delighted in her great-grandchildren. Even with the devastation of Alzheimer's, her eyes would light up when they entered the room. To say that she will be greatly missed is unquestionably the ultimate understatement. She was preceded in death by her parents, Charlie Mason and Fannie Isbell Mason, brothers, Irving Durwood Mason and Jackie Ray Mason and sister, Opal Brady.
