Betty was born in Glasgow, Missouri on August 5, 1925. She has one surviving sister, Nancy Asbury of Fayette, Missouri. Betty grew up in Fayette and upon graduation she moved to Kansas City, Missouri where she met W.C. and after a short three week engagement, they were married on New Year’s Eve. She is survived by their three children: Ron Fields of Lake Winnebago, MO., Peg Fields of Raytown, MO., and Mike Fields of Overland Park, KS. Betty worked various jobs throughout her life until she found her true calling as an insurance underwriter. She finally retired a few months before her eightieth birthday. Betty loved to travel, and she especially loved cruises. At age 87, she was thrilled to cruise through the Panama Canal. She also loved visits to local casinos and was an avid reader. She cherished her grandchildren: Keri Bemis (Mike), Brandi Totta (Vince), Corey Fields (Becky), Chris Fields (Lisa), Michelle Jensen (Brian), Jesse Fields and adored her great-grandchildren: Steven, Alexa, Sydnee, Bella, Vinci, Ian, Sam, Tessa, and Lyla. She was a beautiful woman with a kind heart. She made friends everywhere she went. Many people loved her and will miss her and keep her in their hearts forever.
