Quincy Barfield

Quincy Barfield lived a life closely tied to family, work, and the rural places he called home. Born in the first half of the 20th century, Quincy spent much of his adult life alongside his wife, Rosie (née Cummins), with whom he built a long marriage after they wed in January 1953. Early chapters of his life included time in the oil fields and on the Mississippi, later settling into farming where he raised cotton and soybeans. Those years of labor and steady presence shaped the daily rhythms of his family and connected him to communities in Louisiana and, in his later years, Mountain View, Arkansas.

Quincy and Rosie raised children and maintained close family ties; public notices list children and extended relatives among those who survive him, and local friends and neighbors remembered the couple as a familiar part of community life. In retirement he split time between Mountain View and family roots farther south, but Mountain View became the place where he and Rosie were known to friends and neighbors.

On September 5, 2014, Quincy passed away at age 85. The manner of his passing was investigated by local authorities and reported in regional news; publicly available records indicate investigators did not suspect foul play. While public details about his private life are limited in online records, the facts that remain show a man who worked with his hands, loved his family, and lived for many years in the rhythms of small-town life. He is remembered through the family and community ties he left behind, and by those who knew him as a steady presence in the Mountain View area.
