Ashley Paige Field

July 23, 1991 – February 6th, 2016

The honor and pride that Ashley has brought to her family and friends is on a grand scale that compares to the heartbreak that physically takes our breath away. Our courageous daughter was an inspiration to all that knew her. She took control, planned and executed her fight with Brain Cancer. She wanted to live with no regrets; our modern medicine offered her the time to get through her list. We know as parents that she wants us to carry her memory and make life for ourselves and everyone around better, but right now that’s tough to imagine. Ashley is lovingly remembered by her parents Dan and Traci Field; and her brother Mason Field. Grandparents, Aunts, Uncles and cousins helped create a circle of love and support for Ashley. Ashley grew up in Allan enjoying all the great opportunities of a small town, freedom to roam, and play. Ashley enjoyed school, the swimming pool, dance and dirt biking. Sometimes all in the same day. We moved to Saskatoon where Ashley attended Evan Hardy High School. Ashley now changed things up from dance and played hockey and took self-defence. Ashley applied and was accepted into the outdoor school program. This experience cemented her love of the outdoors. This experience also led her to working with the great crew at EB’s. Cancer put university on hold, but as soon as she could she was out in Castlegar, BC, going to school at Selkirk College.  Before Ashley was finished her Chemo treatments she backpacked around Europe and with some Lebanese connections she was able to receive some medical testing in Paris just to ensure things were looking OK. After graduating with honors in Environment/civil she was fortunate to connect with the great team at Golder Associates here in Saskatoon. Soon Ashley was working in Saskatchewan’s North at the Uranium mines. She really enjoyed her time working at Golder, and she had hoped to return if things would have worked out differently.  Ashley’s independence and willingness to put herself “out there” paid off by making some amazing friendships from Castlegar, BC to Bouctouche, NB.  Some of Ashley’s last quiet words were thank you to us as parents and the great staff at St. Paul’s Palliative Care for small things like moving her pillow or getting her a sip of water. We would like to echo that thank you to the Cancer Center staff and all the people that have been involved in delivering some of the best care in the world to our sweet courageous daughter. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Brain Tumor Foundation of Canada (620 Colborne St., Suite 301, London, ON N6B 3R9). A Celebration of Ashley’s life will be held at 2:00 p.m. on Tuesday, February 16th at the German Cultural Centre (160 Cartwright Ave). The family invites you to wear purple on Tuesday, as that was Ashley’s favorite color. Arrangements in care of David Polzen – MOURNING GLORY FUNERAL SERVICES 306-978-5200
