Surviving are her mother, Fannie Field; two brothers, Ralph Field and Loren Field; a sister, Connie Wright; her three children, Ronald & Lisa Dean, Lisa Dean; Robert & Heather Phillips, and Leslie Phillips; a granddaughter, Layla Dean; and many aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces, nephews, and loving friends.
Carolyn loved life, her family, writing poetry, reading, creating art, wild horses, truck driving, and the mountains of Montana. She was a free spirit and will continue to live on through all of the lives she touched.

My prayers are with Carolyn’s family! I loved her dearly! I will miss her greatly! The part i will miss the most is her beautiful smile & her baby Ellie!
Our hearts are sad and happy at the same time. Seas that Carol had to leave but happy that our Saviour Jesus Christ is taken care of our friends. Prayers for all.
Reflecting back on how Carolyn impacted my life: When she and I worked at the old Meijer store, she would often brighten my day by leaving me a picture that she drew or poem she had written. Her daughter Leslie would often draw pictures also. Carolyn had written a poem once that was so beautiful I used it at my wedding. I will miss her happy cheerful “Hello Miss Lynne”. What a wonderful, loving and compassionate person Carolyn was. She was an example of how all people should treat each other everyday. Rest in peace my friend.
So sorry for your loss!!! I Bonnie grew up with field’s ,and went to school with Ralph s dad and aunts they are real nice people!!
