Florence Field Obituary

Florence Rita "Florita" P. Field, 91, of Scituate, left this world and entered another, on June 9, 2019, to join her daughter Janet for all-time. Florita leaves her husband of 68 years, Charles; children, Susan McGowan (Randolph) and Amy Chessia (Scituate) and spouse Eric Stamp, and Charles Jr. and wife Susan (also of Scituate); and "fourth daughter" Kate Jackson (Marion). In addition, Florita leaves her beloved grandchildren, Sara, Morgan, Taylor, Andrew, Whitney, Benjamin, Rory, Spenser, Sarah and Claire. She treasured her great-grandchildren, Marckenrho, Grace, Leonardo, Ashley, Harper, Ellie and Nova. Florita graduated from Georgian Court College, and later, earned her master's degree in Child Guidance from Boston College. For many years, she was a guidance counselor at Wampatuck Elementary School in Scituate, where she was well-known for her kind, professional demeanor and for her fresh baked treats that she kept at the ready for students and faculty alike. She was a founding member of "Knit Wits", a social knitting club in Boca Grande, Fla., and Scituate. The family wishes to thank all of her many friends who have reached out with prayers and condolences. A Mass of remembrance will be held on Wednesday, June 19, at 10 a.m. at St. Anthony's Church in Cohasset. For an online guest book, please visit www.mcnamara-sparrell.com.

Ah, what a beautiful woman both inside and out! I will miss her warm smile, that wonderful deep voice, and her mentoring of how to be a good wife and mother and woman. Mass hasn't been the same for me on Boca Grande for a few years since she and her dear Charlie stayed north in February.
God bless you, Florita!

Florita was a wonderful friend and support. She was always there when you needed her most! She will be missed!

Florita was a special person filled with caring for everyone. She was unique and a "gift" to Scituate in all that she accomplished just being herself. She was intelligent and generous in sharing herself and her home to others.

I was fortunate to see her this year at the Atlantic Symphony concert with good friend Nancy Verseckes. She had aged well and dressed "spiffily" with that twinkle in her eye. A life well lived and shared! Always to be remembered!
I am unable to make the mass but will be there in spirit.
