She was born on July 24, 1929 in Culver, Kentucky, a daughter of the late Francis Marion and Flora Belle Green White. The family farm on Green Branch was home to her and nine siblings. After graduating from Sandy Hook High School in 1948, she taught in a one-room schoolhouse on Sinking in Elliott County and later at a Normal School in Greenup County, Kentucky. Faye married the late Derrel Fields on ¬¬¬¬December 23, 1950 and later became an Army wife while he served in Germany. They bought a farm in Stephens, Kentucky where they raised four sons. She was often spotted on her little red tractor working on the farm. Faye enjoyed gardening, reading, crocheting, and bird watching. A favorite past time was viewing her world from the front porch swing. With a personality that would light up the room, her quick wit and mischievous laughter will be remembered by all who knew her. As a person of strong faith, Wednesday afternoon bible study and Sunday morning meetings were highlights of her week. One of her favorite events was Convention in the summer with her church family. She is survived by four sons, Dana Lee (Debbie) Fields of Grayson, Kentucky; David Ray (Sylvia) Fields of Falkville, Alabama; Roy Allen (Suzie) Fields of Flatwoods, Kentucky; and Randall Derrel (Melissa) Fields of Flatwoods, Kentucky; 13 Grandchildren: Patrick Fields, Aaron Fields, Jeffrey Fields, Jeremy Fields, Justin Fields, Melissa Fields Mason, Anthony Fields, Lori Fields Martin, Kyle Fields, Clairissa Fields, Jaythen Fields, Mackenzie Fields, and Rosie Fields; 15 Great Grandchildren: Sophia, Madalyn, Maci, Landen, Adalyn, Audrina, Alana, Emerson, Ethan, Brayden, Jacey, Zoey, Jaxon, Landon, and Rhyder.
