Theresa “Tracie” Fields

Tracie Fields was truly a remarkable woman, whose accomplishments here on earth will never be forgotten. She was a woman who believed wholeheartedly in education and obtained her high school diploma at Marion Franklin High School in 1988. Tracie also obtained her bachelor’s degree in Human Resources from Devry University. Her quest for learning did not stop there, she obtained her master’s degree in Business Administration at Ohio Dominican University. Although she had reached graduate level in her education, Tracie Fields obtained Licensing in Health, Life, Property and Casualty Insurance where she spent time as an Independent Agent for United Health Insurance. Tracie Fields looked at education as a powerful tool for success in life and strongly encouraged it.

Tracie Fields was not afraid to take risks and she enjoyed life. She loved to travel and have fun, and took trips to exotic locations, such as Cancun and Jamaica. Her favorite animal was the dolphin, and you could see this in her home décor, as well as body art. Above all things Tracie had a passion for people and their well-being. Tracie would host an annual Women’s Brunch where women of all ages could come together to network, relax, and empower one another in the beauty of her home. Tracie provided the Whiting, Wings, and Waffles and the women left feeling Encouraged, Inspired, and Hopeful. Many new friendships have been formed from the annual brunch that will be life lasting. What was birthed from great fellowship became an annual tradition.

Tracie Fields deemed her relationships with her husband, family and friends, and God to be of the utmost importance. There was never a time that you did not see Tracie’s presence there to support any big event that friends, and family had going on in their lives. For every graduation, prom, or sporting event Tracie was there, and often the biggest cheerleader. As a faithful member of Faith Ministries Church, Tracie extended the grace of her gifting in the Children’s Ministry, and the Women’s Step team, along with other activities. Tracie was often seen as the glue that connected us all and she is a memorable force in all the lives that she touched. We love you Tracie Fields, and your mark on this earth will forever be remembered.
