Stella Louise Fields

Stella Louise Fields was born September 5, 1940 in Wynne, Arkansas to Charles and Irene Gahr, who both preceded her in death, as well as brothers Michael and Kenny. She leaves behind her loving husband of 40 years, John Fields, stepdaughter Nicole Carver (Glenn), grandchildren Jackson and Caroline, and sister Rosie Young, as well as nieces and nephews. Her grandchildren were her whole world. She showered them with love and gifts at every opportunity. Every holiday dinner, she wanted to sit at the kids' table to be with them. Stella worked for WREG News Channel 3 for 38 years as an executive assistant but continued to work there part time in other areas. She loved to shop, and shop she did! She even picked up side jobs at stores she loved like Connie's Shoes, Bombay and Company, and Pottery Barn. Stella was the most generous and selfless person you could meet. She was always thinking of others, especially when out shopping! Her generosity poured into her love of interior design. She had a wonderful eye for decorating and enjoyed updating her friends' homes, as well as her own. That always included Christmas, when she helped so many create the most beautiful Christmas trees and decor. Stella took a lot of pride in her yard and would often work for hours to make it perfect. She endured a lot of health issues during her lifetime, but she faced them bravely and without complaints. Stella will be missed dearly by all.
