Fran?oise Fielding Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers from Jan. 6 to Jan. 8, 2023.
Francoise Fielding, age 74, died peacefully on September 29th, 2022 in Basel, Switzerland with her two daughters, Kimberly Fielding and Stephanie Fielding (Julian Merschen), by her side. She is also survived by 5 grandchildren. Francoise was predeceased in 2020 by the love of her life and beloved partner of over 25 years, Dee Ann Standley. Francoise and Dee were inveterate travelers who were deterred by nothing, whether it was the Snowman trek in Bhutan, three weeks in North Korea, Yemen, right after a tourist attack or civil war in Syria.

Francoise was born in New York City on February 25, 1948. She graduated from the Lycee Francais in NY, Columbia University and Columbia University Law School. After practicing law she became involved in various aspects of commercial real estate. She also volunteered extensively, including as a CASA and an End of Life doula.

There will be no memorial service.
