Dewey "Austin" Stubblefield II's Obituary
Dewey “Austin” Stubblefield II, 73, died unexpectedly in his sleep on December 10, 2010. He was a resident of Collierville, TN, where he moved from Miami three years age in order to be near his daughter and granddaughter. Mr. Stubblefield graduated from Vanderbilt University undergraduate school and from Vanderbilt Law School. There he met his wife of 49 years, Harriet Henderson Stubblefield. He practiced law in Kentucky for ten years before becoming a vice-president of Holiday Inns. He then went into business for himself, owning companies that dealt with real estate and with financial services. He was known as a gentleman and a generous mentor to others in their own business careers. Mr. Stubblefield was an enthusiastic traveler and visited several continents. He was active over the years in various civic organizations as well as the Episcopal Church. He enjoyed the camaraderie of fellow members of the International Wine and Food Society, both in Miami and in Memphis. He currently served on the Board of Governors for North America for that organization. As a long term resident of Miami, FL, he was often on the golf course with good friends at the Riviera Country Club in Coral Gables, FL. He continued his enjoyment of golf in Collierville, but nothing gave him more joy than time spent with his family. He is survived by his wife and his much loved daughter and granddaughter, Laura Stubblefield McLemore and Ann Ashford McLemore. He also leaves his sister, Sally Stubblefield Allen of Diggs, Idaho. Interment will be in Dresden, TN next to his parents, Dewey Austin Stubblefield and Christine Tucker Stubblefield.
