Mae Joyce Fields

On July 20, 2025, Mae Joyce Fields passed away peacefully at her home surrounded by her loving family. Mae was born on January 25, 1936, in Wills Point, Texas. She was the second child and only daughter born to Grady Johnson and Marie (Lyons) Johnson. After the early death of Mae’s mother, Marie, Mae and her three brothers, Grady Jr, Billy Joe, and L. C. (Lester Charles), moved to the home of their loving grandmother (Martha Lyons) and grandfather (Sheppard Lyons). Her father, Grady, soon married Olether Johnson, and Mae was blessed with two sisters, Della Faye Holliness, Dorothy Pearl Johnson, and two younger brothers, Ernest Lee Johnson and Robert Gene Johnson. Mae spent her younger years in Terrell, Texas, and later in life, she moved to Dallas, Texas, where she met and fell in love with Samuel Fields. Mae and Samuel celebrated 66 years of marriage on June 20, 2025. They cherished the life they built together with their five children: Glenda L. Fields-Walker, Joyce Renee (Isaac), Samuel O’Hara (Ginyier), Michael Scott (Desma), and Roger Wayne. Everyone who knows “Sam and Mae” will tell you Sam is the talker, and Mae would occasionally smile while she listened. Because of Mae’s love for God and His Word, the Bible, she dedicated her life to Jehovah God, symbolizing it through her baptism in 1972 as one of Jehovah’s Witnesses. Mae immediately began sharing with others what she had learned about her God, Jehovah, and served as a regular pioneer in the Rosewood Congregation, spreading seeds of truth for many years. One of Mae’s favorite things to do was to work in her yard and spend time with her grandchildren. She would often sit quietly and admire them in the family photos. Tiffany, Kimberli, Kristen (Kevin), Samuel Ryan Scott (Deja), Allyson (Matt), Stephanie (Alex), Whitney (Carmelo), Britney (Patrick), Gabrielle and Kayla (Ethan), and Great Grandchildren: Brandon, Kayli, Payton, Kaysen, Neveah, Kylie and Kalani and Niece Christina (Rodney). Mae will be remembered for her quiet and meek demeanor. She never liked conflicts or anything that would cause others to feel hurt or be upset. Her favorite quote was from the scriptural thought at Romans 12:18 - “If possible, as far as it depends on you, be peaceable with all men.” She was preceded in death by her Parents, stepmother, her Baby Sister and Brothers. Mae wholeheartedly believed in God’s Promise: “Do not be amazed at this, for the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voiceand come out, those who did good things to a resurrection of life,” - John 5:28, 29 We, her beloved husband, family, relatives and friends, eagerly await the time when we can see Mae and our many dear loved ones again.
