In her early years she worked side by side with her former husband in the Dirt Construction Business. She enjoyed the simple things in life such as cooking for and feeding others, tending to her house plants and flowers, working puzzles, and spending time with family, especially her grandchildren who were the apple of her eye.
Those she leaves to cherish her memory include three children, Glen Fields and his wife Melinda, Anita Fields, and Brian Fields and his companion Dawna; her sister, Ella B. Brown; her grandchildren, Taylor Fields and his wife Kelly, Morgan Fields and his wife Sara, Sarah Fribley and her husband Scott, Lori Briggs and her husband Anthony; and Miranda Topham; her great-grandchildren, Anthony, Bailey, Chase, Kaylee, and Scottie Fribley, Rhett, Levi, and Vivian Fields, Wren and Dash Fields, Celeste, Sebastian, and Liam Briggs, Lillyian Topham, and Krysta Alferd; her former daughter-in-law, Monika Fabre; her longtime friends, Joe and Betty Glorioso and Butch and Shirley Barras; as well as a host of nieces, nephews, extended family, and friends.

Broussard; and her former husband, Francis “Bubba” Fields.
