- Dee Fielding passed away on Saturday, June 18, 2011 surrounded by his family who loved him dearly.
Dee was born July 13, 1929 in Bear River, Utah to Wayne Fielding and Hildred Sorensen. Although they moved frequently, he was primarily raised in Clearfield, Utah, the eldest of five children. His siblings are Ray (Shirley), Deceased: Merlin (Linda), Dorothy, and Marian (JB) Delaney.
He graduated from Davis High School, attended the University of Utah and served an LDS Mission in the California Mission. Two days after returning from his mission, he married his sweetheart Frances May Warner on April 30, 1952 in the Salt Lake LDS Temple. Dee and Fran are the parents of what Dad would call very special spirits. Doug (Bonnie) of Mesa, AZ. Rod (Lisa) of Chandler, AZ. Rick (Denise) of Holladay, UT. Connie of Heber City, UT. Scott (Monica) of Sandy, UT and Shauna (Joe) of Lehi, UT. They are the grandparents of twenty-seven grandchildren and ten 1/2 great-grandchildren.
Dee and Fran spent some time living in California and now reside in Lehi, but raised their family in Layton, Utah for over forty-five years. They later served a mission together in the New York, Rochester Mission.
Most of his career was in the life insurance industry and he loved the associations he made there. Dee served in many capacities in the church and faithfully served wherever asked, although his greatest love was being a life-long missionary to anyone who would listen. He was one of the most faithful Home Teachers there ever was.
