JFYI/this obit makes putting this family together confusing.
If something is not correct appreciate any ideas, done best I can given data I've researched to put them correctly together, thanks.

In the obit it mentions Andrew lst married to
Libby Mayfield whose full name is
Cora Elizabeth 'Libby' Jamison.

Next it mentions he is husband of Marlene Nix OF THE HOME, which would indicate at the time he DIED, she was living.

Marlene's full name is Marlene Nix 'Marti' Jamison.
Cora and Marlene are sisters.
both daughters of
Reeves Jamison & Ollie Dillard

In mother Ollie's obit it does mentions both daughters
"She was predeceased by two daughters, Libby J. Mayfield and Mardi N. Brannon". Ollie died 2009.

Cora is Elizabeth in 1940 and Marlene not listed as she was born after the census in 1941.

Elizabeth Jamison Dau F 0 NC 1939-1998 Libby #66850073

Further prove of the two gals:
In their older sis obit Sylvia it mentions both of them,
"She was predeceased by sisters, Libby J. Mayfield and Mardi N. Brannon." Sylvia died 2012.

Conclusion:Cora died 1998, Marlene died 1997.
Cora's obit, what there was of it, confirms her full name inc/being called 'Libby'. some have confused Marti w/being 'Libby' but this can not be so. Cora was only married one time to Andrew. Cora's stone mentions 3 kids born to them
Tracy, Mark, Kevin as she is buried w/Andrew not his 2nd wife Marlene: Tracy died at 9yo,Feb 20 1962-Jun 28 1971. Living then in 1971 would be sons Rev Kevin B Mayfield and Mark S Mayfield. Given dob for Tracy would indicate Andrew and Cora married at least around 1961.

Cora Mayfield United States Social Security Death Index
birth:22 June 1939 North Carolina
death:10 October 1998 South Carolina age 59yo

Marlene married lst to Wally Bannon abt 1960s;he b 17 July 1933 Polk NC-21 Jan 2009. Found no div record for them but they must have div. if Andrew married Marlene and she was married to him later.
The kicker is Marti died for sure 1997 so was dec'd when Andrew died 2003 so someone must have just messed up on his obit by indicating she was living 'at home' when he died.
Her DC and gravestone proves she was dec'd 1997. Wally Brannon died 2007 so he was still living too when Andrew died as well as Libby and Marlene, only conclusion then is Cora and Andrew must have div as well as Marlene and Wally in order for Andrew to marry Marlene. However then, oddly, Andrew is buried w/lst wife Cora who died after Marlene died by one year.
Now if you are confused, do not feel badly, so am I but that is best I can do for now to figure this family.

In Cora's Public records for 1990s it mentions her relatives as:Andrew Stephen Mayfield [x?-husband], Candace D Mayfield [wife of >, Kevin B Mayfield, Lisa Hammett Mayfield [wife of > Mark S Mayfield, Rosa Marlene Mayfield
[since her name is Marlene maybe she IS a dau/of Marlene and Andrew ?]. If Marlene married Andrew around 1960 she would been in her 30s, possible she could had a child or two ? as a George W Mayfield is mentioned and oddly he has same dob as Rosa, so twins?]. Just depends when they married as no marriage record was found for them.

So George W Mayfield/has same dob as Rosa/twins ?
