Born Jean Marie Darrow on April 11, 1958 in Mason City, Iowa, she was the daughter of Donald and Marjorie (Leeper) Darrow. She grew up in Marshall County and lived for many years in State Center before moving to Zearing, where she graduated high school in 1976.

Compassionate and caring, Jean spent many years working in hospice care, which she truly cherished. She was united in marriage on December 19, 2014 to Garry Fields in Akron, Ohio.
