Mitchell “Mickey” Fields
Mitchell “Mickey” Fields, 58 of Richwood, died unexpectedly Sunday, November 27, 2016 at home.

A 1976 graduate of North Union High School, he was a dedicated employee at Whirlpool Corporation for 40 years.
Family was the center of Mickey’s life and he loved family get-togethers. His daughter, Cassi was the apple of his eye as well his future son-in-law, James whom he considered his own son.
