FRUITLAND

Grace Field, born on April 23, 1928, in Comstock, Nebraska, to John and Hilda Squire, passed away peacefully, leaving behind a legacy of love, dedication, and service. Grace was a charismatic and spirited individual from the beginning, embodying a ?ghting spirit throughout her life.

Grace grew up in Comstock with her three sisters: Shirley, who resides in Nebraska, Virginia in Nampa, and Barbara in Boise. She also had numerous nieces and nephews, many of whom she helped care for over the years, creating cherished memories and bonds.

In 1952, Grace moved to Idaho, where she met and married Carl Wilt in Nampa. Together, they shared a love for the outdoors, spending their time ?shing, hiking, hunting, and camping. After many joyful years together, Carl passed away. Grace later married Howard Field, who also preceded her in death.

Throughout her life, Grace was known for her hard work and versatility. She held various jobs, from waitressing- referred to by her as "slinging hash"-to o?ce work. Grace had a special talent with horses; she rode and trained them, often offering valuable advice to young cowboys on horse handling.

Grace's nurturing spirit extended beyond her family to the many children she babysat over the years. Her home was a welcoming place where these children, now grown, continued to visit and express their affection for her.

A dedicated volunteer, Grace was actively involved in several organizations. She was a committed member of the Disabled Veterans Auxiliary, holding various o?ces. Alongside Howard, she volunteered for hospice, providing comfort and care to those in need. Her faith was a cornerstone of her life, and she faithfully served the Brethren Church in Fruitland for many years, holding o?ces and working passionately in the baby bank, a role she particularly enjoyed.

Grace's life was a testament to her caring nature, resilience, and unwavering dedication to her community and family. She was deeply loved and will be greatly missed by all who knew her. Her legacy of kindness and service will continue to inspire those who had the privilege of knowing her.

Services for Grace will be held on Saturday May 18 at 1:00 P.M. at the First Missionary Baptist Church. 202 Ehrgood Ave, Nyssa, OR.
