Ms. Eula Brummett Fields

Eula Fern Brummett Fields, 98 and a half, of 404 North Gilmer Park, Johnson City, TN, graced Heaven’s pearly gates on Saturday, April 30, 2022. She was born and raised in the Castlewood, VA community and moved to East Tennessee in 1948 for better educational opportunities for her children. A lifetime of selfless acts like that one, hard work, and loving care made her a beloved matriarch for family and friends alike. A devoted prayer warrior and member of Thankful Baptist Church, Eula brought warmth and comfort to all she encountered. She was recognized for her contributions to the faith community in 2019 as a recipient of the Milligan University Leader in Christian Service Award. There was no more dedicated employee during her years of employment at ETSU, Hands On Museum, or Charley’s Steakery. She garnered the adoration and respect of all she encountered. Eula’s kind spirit, acceptance of everyone as they are, and welcoming presence left a permanent place on the hearts of many. In addition to her son, Bascom Fields Junior, she was preceded in death by her parents, William Kemper and Lottie Brummett; siblings, Nannie Fields, Worley Brummett, and Bessie Douglas; grandson, Jimmy Crawford; great-granddaughter, Simone Spratley; and son-in-law, Rainey Crawford.

In addition to her descendants, she has a host of nieces, nephews, great-nieces, great-nephews, great-great-nieces and great-great-nephews, and special friends who mourn her passing; whom she loved and regarded as her own children.
