Obituary
Virginia Louise (Smith) Fields was born August 17, 1928, to Albert Smith and Nell Bowles Smith in Spiro, Oklahoma. She graduated from Spiro High School and moved to California, where she met the love of her life, Cecil Oland Fields. They married on October 5, 1948, on the Pearl Harbor Naval Base in Oahu, Hawaii.
Virginia was a licensed milner and accomplished seamstress. She even dressed some of the female guests at John F. Kennedy's inauguration in 1961.
She spent many years as a homemaker to her husband and 6 children. The family lived in Hawaii; Seattle, Washington; Panama; Newport, Rhode Island; Jacksonville, Florida; and Potomac, Maryland during Cecil's career in the Navy, and settled in Tulsa, Oklahoma in 1967.
After Cecil's retirement from the Navy, the couple started Fields Galleries, which they ran for 30 years.
She was a devout member of the Christian Science Church and volunteered at many Christian Science Reading Rooms in Tulsa and Lafayette, Louisiana.
Virginia was also an avid gardener and artist. She maintained a gorgeous greenhouse at her home in Tulsa and continued to paint past her 90th birthday. She loved traveling to Hawaii and taking road trips to visit her family.
Virginia was predeceased by her husband Cecil; son Carlton (Corky) Jeffry Fields; parents; and her siblings Jack Smith, Jake Smith, and Gail Roberts.
She is survived by her children, Susan Gail Fields Martin (Craig), Robert Dale Fields, Davy Dewitt Fields (Brenda), Carol Ann (Katie) Fields Bowen (Bob), and Spike Manlike; her sister-in-law, Bonnie Ray Fields; her grandchildren, Nathan Fields (Lindsay), Namek LaFleur (David), Robert Crowl (Amy), Heather Moncel (Brian), Jessica Oxenberg (Jeff), Glenn Fields (Erin), Samuel Fields (Ashley), Hana Fields, Taylor Martin, Lyricole Fields; and her great-grandchildren, Archer Fields, Solomon Cai Fields, Brenden Moncel, Chaplin Crowl, Blithe Crowl, and Harrison Fields.
Virginia passed away on July 7, 2020, in Lafayette, Louisiana. Her memorial service will be held on Monday, July 13, 2020 at 11:00 AM, at Moore Funeral Home - Southlawn Chapel, 9350 East 51st Street, Tulsa, Oklahoma, followed by a graveside burial in the Garden of Light at Memorial Park Cemetery, 5111 South Memorial, Tulsa, Oklahoma.
