It is with deep sorrow yet profound gratitude for a life well-lived that we announce the passing of Rosa Lee Myers Fields, who departed this world on June 8, 2026, surrounded by her loving family at Norton-Brownsboro Hospital. Born on October 5, 1943, in the serene landscapes of Pike County, Kentucky, Rosa Lee graced the world with her presence for 82 remarkable years.
Rosa Lee was the cherished daughter of Lewis Clay Myers and Martha Magdalene Justice Myers, who instilled in her the values of kindness and resilience that she carried throughout her life. She is now reunited with her beloved parents and her dear nephew, Steve Turner, who predeceased her.
Rosa Lee's life was a testament to the power of love and devotion. She is survived by her two adoring children, Deborah Fields Kuhn and her husband Andrew, and David Fields and his wife Peggy Wilson Fields, who were the center of her universe. Her legacy continues through her treasured grandchildren, Daniel, Arizona, and Giovanni, who were the pride and joy of her later years.
As a sister, Rosa Lee shared a special bond with her two sisters, Clara Myers Campbell and Lana Myers Boor, who were her lifelong companions and confidantes. Her spirit lives on through her nieces, Lisa, Jennifer, and Rheannon, and her nephew Michael, who will forever cherish her memory.
Rosa Lee dedicated over two decades of her professional life as an exemplary accountant at O.H. Bromberg & Associates, retiring in 2005. Her colleagues remember her as a meticulous and dedicated worker who balanced her career with grace and poise.
A woman of faith, Rosa Lee was a devoted member of the Douglass Hills Church of Christ, where she found solace and community. Her faith was a cornerstone of her life, guiding her through times of joy and challenge.
Rosa Lee's greatest joy was found in the simple pleasures of life. She cherished spending time with her family and friends, who will miss her warmth and laughter. A lover of literature, she found solace in the pages of books, often getting lost in the mysteries of Columbo, her favorite television show. Her love for animals, especially her cats, was evident in the tender care she gave them, with her beloved Loki holding a special place in her heart.
Those who knew Rosa Lee will remember her for her unwavering courage in the face of adversity, particularly during her battle with ALS. Her thoughtfulness and kindness left an indelible mark on all who were fortunate to know her. Even in her final days, her wit, sprinkled with just a hint of spice, brought smiles to those around her.
In honor of Rosa Lee's enduring spirit and to continue the fight against the illness that took her from us too soon, the family kindly requests that in lieu of flowers, donations be made to The ALS Association. Contributions can be made through their website at http://www.als.org.
Rosa Lee Myers Fields touched the lives of many and leaves behind a legacy of love, kindness, and resilience. While our hearts are heavy with her absence, we take comfort in knowing that her spirit lives on in the cherished memories we hold dear. She was a beacon of light in our lives, and her love will forever guide us.

The 23rd Psalm
The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.
He maketh me to lie down in green pastures:
he leadeth me beside the still waters.
He restoreth my soul:
he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness
for his name's sake.
Yea, though I walk through the valley
of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil:
for thou art with me;
thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.
Thou preparest a table before me
in the presence of mine enemies:
thou anointest my head with oil;
my cup runneth over.
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me
all the days of my life:
and I will dwell in the house of the Lord
for ever.
