Margaret Ann Fields

Margaret Ann Archer Fields (Maggie) of Kennesaw, Georgia passed away peacefully in her sleep at her home on September 23, 2008, at the age of 81. She bravely challenged cancer and always lived in the moment.

 

Maggie was born in Salina, Kansas in 1927 to Meda and Ralph Archer. She graduated high school in Evanston, Illinois from Roycemore School. Maggie attended Scripps College in Claremont, California. She met and married her husband, William S. Fields (Bill) in California. She is survived by her brother Ralph Archer, Jr.; her children Douglas A. Fields of Winnetka, Illinois, Deborah F. Goslin of Dublin, Ca. and Jeffrey P. Fields of Woodstock, Georgia; her three grandchildren Matthew, Bradford and Gregory Fields; daughter-in-law Barbara Fields, son-in-law Bruce Goslin, and granddaughter-in-law Lani Fields.

 

Hobbies: Private airplane pilot, Family’s home designer, Seamstress and Master Gardner. She never met a stranger and often invited them home to share in family gatherings. 

 

Her true passions in life were her family, her pets and her friends. Her home was always filled with laughter and heart-felt love. Three words sum up Maggie’s Spirit; tenacious, giving and joyful!

 

The Fields Family wants to thank Maggie’s many friends, the Hospice caregivers and her very warm and competent physician, Dr. Carmen Klass, for always being there for Maggie and helping her complete her journey with dignity and grace.

 

Funeral Services will take place at 10:30 a.m. Monday, September 29, 2008 at Saint Teresa’s Episcopal Church, 5725 Fords Road, Acworth, Ga.30101, 770-590-9040. The Service will be followed by a luncheon at the Stonebrooke Village Condominium Clubhouse off Stilesboro Road, 5204 Stone Village Circle, Kennesaw, Ga. 30152. Maggie will be laid to rest later this year along side her parents in Skokie, Illinois. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to your local Humane Society or the Make-a-Wish Foundation.
