Her professional career as a Property Manager spanned nearly three decades having spent the last ten years working for Executive Properties.

MaryLou had a deep faith in the Lord having attended St. Joseph Parish Catholic Church in Cuyahoga Falls and supporting her family at LifeWay Church in New Philadelphia. MaryLou was known for her outgoing, charismatic, and joyful personality which enabled her to talk with anyone and bring peace to those around her. She was an avid fan of Ohio State Buckeyes football, loved scenic drives and never missed an opportunity to enjoy God’s creations by being out in nature. She loved being with her family, her grandchildren, and her grand-puppies.

She will be missed by her children, Bradley M. (Danyell) Fields of Gnadenhutten, and Jessica Miller of Cuyahoga Falls; her grandchildren, Anthony Fields, Michael Konczal, Morgan Miller, and Charlie Miller; her great-grandson, Everett Konczal; her sister, Bernadette (Tony) Melendez of Florida; her former husband, Charles L. Fields, and her nieces and nephews.

In addition to her parents, MaryLou was preceded in death by a sister, Joanne Beligoi, and a brother, Joseph Futej.
