Theresa Field

Theresa (Tobias) Field, 90, wife of the late David VanNess Field, peacefully passed away Wednesday, May 13, 2026. Born June 19, 1935, in Hazelton, Pennsylvania, she was one of 17 children born to the late Blanche (Golab) and Steven Tobias.

Theresa moved with her family at the age of 14 to Middletown, CT and later moved to Portland to raise her six children with her beloved husband David. Theresa worked for many years at Elmcrest Hospital until retirement.

Known for her kindness, strength, warmth, and sense of humor, she treasured time spent with her family. Her home was always filled with love, laughter, and compassion.

She is survived by her brother Thomas Tobias and sister Monica Termine; her children: Joseph Field, Theresa DiPace, Cathy Field, and David Field and wife Karen; many nieces and nephews, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and a great-great grandson Axel whom she loved to see smile and laugh.

Theresa lived a full and meaningful life here with those who loved her and now, after many years apart, is reunited with husband David, favorite son Michael Field, and beautiful daughter Patricia Kruvka, both who predeceased her.

The family would like to offer a heartfelt thank you to the staff at Wadsworth Glen for their care and support.

A memorial service will be June 4, 2026, from 5:00 to 7:00 pm at Biega Funeral Home 3 Silver St. Middletown, CT. Burial will take place on a later date at the family's discretion.

In lieu of flowers, memorial donations can be made to the Nathaniel B. Field Memorial Foundation, Inc. 32 Old Country Road East, Haddam CT 06438.
