Dollie was born on April 18, 1918, on Beaty Creek in Delaware County. Her mother and father are Thomas Jefferson Fields and Alta Barlow Hutchison Fields. She was the fifth of ten children. Her siblings are Roy, Desmond, Bill, Sam, Denver, Ruby, Winona, Callie, Thelma and Bill. She was of Cherokee blood.

Dollie married Stanley William George on Dec. 19, 1936. They lived in Delaware and Ottawa Counties, and in Kansas until 1955 when they moved to So. California. When Stanley retired in 1986, they moved back to Fairland, Oklahoma. Stanley passed away February 9, 1990 of cancer at Freeman Hospital in Joplin, Mo.

Dollie grew up in a family that loved music. She loved to sing and sing she did. She was active in the choir and family group at the Church In The Barn in El Monte, California from 1955 til 1986. She was also a talented quilter and seamstress. For many years she was part of a group of ladies, Martha Mission Circle, that met every Tuesday at the church recreation hall to hand sew quilts for missionaries. When in Oklahoma, Dollie and Stanley were always where there was music. Her brother Sam was quite a fiddler, and her Uncle Dick Hutchison was a great fiddler having his recordings preserved in some very notable locations.

Dollie had diabetes and suffered the side effects of it for forty years of her life. She had many strokes because of diabetes. As she reached her older years, her vision became very limited due to the diabetes. After extensive surgeries to her feet due to the diabetes, in April 1998 both of her legs were amputated to the knees. She did pretty well considering her age and the amputations, even going to the Fields Family reunion that June at Lake Eucha. But on the 23rd of June she had her final stroke which took a month to take her. She was in the hospital until July 22nd. She was taken home to Fairland where she was cared for by her two youngest daughters, Sandra and Dianna, her sister Callie, nephew Winston (and Ruth), her granddaughter Malissa and great granddaughter Chloe. Early the next morning she passed away with Dianna and Sandra at her side.

Dollie and Stanley had four daughters:
Janelle Evonne, b. May 1939. Married to Garland Thomas, two children, five grandchildren.
Karen Sue, b. January 1945. Married to Jack Reil, five children, eleven grandchildren and five great grands..(Karen passed away Feb. 18, 2018)
Sandra Kay, b. October 1949. Married to Terry Batts, two children, three grandchildren, one great grandchild. Married to Roger Carlisle.
Dianna Elaine, b. June 1953. Married to Chris Batts, two children, one granddaughter.

Dollie Oletta Fields George is my mother, and I miss her dearly.

**I just noticed that my Mother's memorial has been sponsored by Jade and Jenn. I thought I had done it when I sponsored my Fathers but I guess it didn't take. Thank you anyway so very much for doing that. It means a lot and I know that they are both smiling down on you girls. **
