Joseph L Fields Sr. Obituary - Visitation & Funeral Information

Obituary Joseph “Joe” Fields, Sr. gently entered into eternal rest on Sunday, June 27, 2021. He departed this life peacefully at the home he shared with his son. Joe was born on November 28, 1935 in Wolftown, Virginia to the late Tonley Henry Fields and Linda Belle Carter. Joe loved his home in Madison County, Virginia where he spent many years climbing the mountains with his siblings. It was in the mountains that he developed his love of the outdoors, building and tinkering with things, racing cars, and painting. While still a young man, Joe ventured to the Eastern Shore of Maryland, where he met his wife, Yvonne Joan Hudson. They settled in Delmar, where together they raised their four (4) children. “Uncle Joe,” as he was known to many, enjoyed running his East-Side Barn, coaching his community softball team, traveling to visit family, playing pinochle, collecting treasures and burning trash. He worked for the town of Delmar for more than twenty (20) years, from where he retired several years ago to care for his wife, Yvonne. He was a great father to his children, and Pop to his grandchildren and his great-grandchildren, as well as a trustee in the church, and a friend to anyone who stopped by and needed help or someone to listen. He truly was a great man. He was preceded in death by his wife of forty-four (44) years, Yvonne Joan Fields, daughter, Yvonne Selmani, and son, Dominic Fields. Joe leaves to celebrate his life: his brother, Coy Fields; sister, Rebecca Carpenter; sons, Philip Fields (Deirdre Barnwell-Fields) and Joseph Fields, Jr. and daughter, Austina Corbin. He is also survived by his grandchildren: Elisha Brown (Marcus), Philip Brown, Corinthia Fields and Simone Fields, and his great-grandchildren, Laela Brown, Evoni Jo Brown, Storm Brown, Judea Brown and Kai-Drie Brown; special family friends, Darrell Corbin, Sr. and Clarvene Pierce and a host of nieces, nephews, close friends and godchildren. Joe created a home for everyone who entered his house, and made friends wherever he went. May his soul rest in peace. LOVINGLY SUBMITTED ~ THE FAMILY
