JONESBORO - Mikie Lou (Keasler) Fielder passed from this life Sept. 16, at the age of 83.
The oldest of three loving daughters of the late Lawrence and Mary (Dover) Keasler, of Paragould, was the beloved wife of Jerry Fielder for 62 years. They were blessed with two sons – Lawrence (Cynthia) and Brian (Valerie) of Jonesboro; loving grandchildren, Ethan Fielder (Keisha), Cayla Fielder Cory (Ethan), Jeremiah, Branden (Taylor), & Lawson Fielder. She is also survived by two sisters, Martha Sue Tedder of Paragould and Rebecca Jo Keasler of Rogers. She is also survived by eight great-grandchildren, Cade & Dallyn Fielder, Carsyn & Keslee Cory, Beckett Lockley & Jocelynn Fielder, and Brinley & Benton Fielder, with another expected in March, in addition to several nieces and nephews. Special thanks to her caregiver, Rene Nichole Coleman.
Mikie Lou became a Christian when she was an early teen and has served her Lord faithfully ever since in the Methodist faith. She spent most of her career as an educator in the public school system at Greene County Tech, Oak Grove, Weiner, Westside, and Jonesboro, and then as a successful realtor. She was also known for her photography and as an avid storyteller of family history, having greatly explored the lineage of her Dover and Poindexter families. It was her last prayer for her children and grandchildren to understand their posterity and to carry a strong Christian heritage throughout their lifetime.
Having suffered from debilitating migraines since the age of eight, Mikie Lou chose to turn her pain into purpose by donating her body to science, hoping that her contribution might bring relief to others in the future.
Memorial services will be held on Friday, Sept. 19, at 6 p.m. at Roller-Farmers Union Funeral Home, with John Miles officiating. Burial will be private at a later date. Visitation will be before the service, beginning at 5 p.m. The Family requests in lieu of flowers, memorials be made in Mikie's name to their favorite charity.
