Helen C. Field

North Augusta, SC—Memorial Services for Mrs. Helen Cole Field, 78, of West Woodlawn Avenue, North Augusta, SC, who entered into rest March 16, 2011, will be conducted Sunday afternoon at 2 o’clock in Fairview Presbyterian Church. Dr. G. Daniel McCall officiating. A long-term resident of North Augusta, she joined the SRP influx into the area with her husband, Frank. A devoted mother and spouse, she was an active member of the community, serving as a volunteer in the many organizations that she supported, and taking a leadership role in several of them. Mrs. Field was an Honorary Life Member of the Volunteer Board of the University Hospital for over 50 years and was a current Board Member and a former President. She was a member of the Nancy Carson Library Board, Aiken County Indigent Care Commission, served as a Docent at Sacred Heart and was recognized with the 1998 North Augusta Exchange Club Golden Deeds Award. Mrs. Field had been a member of Fairview Presbyterian Church. Mrs. Field was endlessly solicitous of her children’s and grandchildren’s needs, as well as those of her network of friends --- a network that never stopped growing because of her inability to be near a stranger and not engage him or her in conversation. She was a fierce supporter of causes great and small, ready to listen and eager to help --- but not to bake. Survivors include two sons and daughters-in-law, Frank and Karen Field, Cambridge, MA and Alan Field and Michelle Lyon, Raleigh, NC; two daughters and a son-in-law, Cathy Field, Lexington, MA and Tracy Field and Mark Peters, Atlanta; a brother and sister-law, Alfred and Alice Cole, Willingboro, NJ; six grandchildren, Thomas, Henry, Rosemary (Raleigh), John, Helen and Christopher (Lexington). The family will receive friends at the residence following the service.
