Dawn Field Obituary

Dawn Denise Field of El Paso, age 45, died Sunday, November 22, 2009, after a valiant struggle with a short illness. Dawn was a transplanted South Texan. She graduated from Harlingen High School in 1982, where she was a Lieutenant in the famed Harlingen Cardettes. Shortly after her graduation, she met the Love of her life, Robert Field. She and Bob were married 26 years ago. She was so proud of her children, Emily Conry (Jeffrey) and Cullen Field. Her grandchildren, in whom she took great delight, are Rosalyn, Faye and Logan. Dawn is also survived by her mother and father, Sally and Charles Manning, her brother, Matthew Manning, and her parents-in-law, Jeanette and Dr. Robert Field, all of whom loved her greatly. Dawn was gentle and loving, and touched lives wherever she went, whether marketing for her and Bob's beloved Sierra Title Company, or traveling to Anaheim to participate in Dis Board, where she worked with friends from across America. A celebration of Dawn's life will be held on Wednesday, December 2, at 10:30 a.m. at Martin Funeral Home West. Steve Carvalho will be Master of Ceremonies. An informal memorial service and scattering of ashes will occur on South Padre Island on December 20. One of Dawn's favorite projects is Water Wells for Africa, and she was hoping to fund a village water well this year in Her and Bob's name. Any contributions to Water Wells for Africa, P.O. Box 635, Manhattan Beach, CA 90267 (www.waterwellsforafrica.org ) in place of flowers would be appreciated. The family wishes to express its heartfelt gratitude to the doctors and staff at Sierra Medical Center for their tireless and professional efforts on Dawn's behalf. Services entrusted to Martin Funeral Home West, 128 N. Resler Dr., El Paso, TX 79912

To Dawn’s family, I greet you in love.
Dawn and I were high school friends, and I am so glad to see how her personality and heart continued to touch others. What a remarkable time God has given in sharing such gentleness, love, and generosity through Dawn’s life. My prayer is that you have great comfort, peace, and strength to not only get you through this time, but to sustain you in goodness that Dawn would want for you and in the fullness of life that God has for you - in Jesus’ name.

I was deeply saddened to read about Dawn. She was a precious person that I taught in 2nd grade at Austin Elem, in Harlingen. Then we were fortunate to have Dawn,Rob, and the children live next door to us for several years on Maple Court. She loved to bake and was always sharing new receipes and baked items with us. She inspired me to start collecting things for a Christmas Village. In fact she gave me several houses as a start. I really hated to see this precious family move to El Paso but knew it was a great opportunity. We lost touch after a few years but I've never forgotten this lovely young lady that adored her husband, children, parents, and friends. I know she will truly be missed by all that knew her. In Christian Love, Linda Broyles

Bob, Emily, Cullen and the entire family, we pray that the Lord's presence will sustain you during this difficult time. We know that the precious memories of Dawn will live forever in your hearts. May the Lord embrace you with His love and give you strength. Bob and Jeanette...we love you! Rick & Terri Carreon ~ Cypress, Texas
