Elizabeth Anne Field

Elizabeth Anne Field, age 62 of Houston, Texas passed away on March 28, 2015. Anne was born to the late George Bruce Field and Josephine Anne Clayton Strawn on May 6, 1952 in New Orleans, Louisiana, and was preceded in death by her late husband Martin Vann King. Growing up in New Orleans Anne studied ballet from the age of three and was somewhat a prodigy by the time she was nine. At the age of 15 she left New Orleans to attend George Balanchine's School of American Ballet in New York City where she finished high school at the Professional Children's School. During her stay in New York Anne also modeled professionally where her pictures graced the pages of magazines such as McCall's, Redbook and Glamour. In 1971 she retired from ballet and modeling and returned to New Orleans where she attended Loyola University and The University of New Orleans earning a degree as a Legal Assistant. Anne's vibrant personality was the reason she never met a stranger be it person or animal. Her passion for saving animals led her to spend many hours volunteering at Citizens for Animal Protection (CAP) as well as donating generously to various other pet organizations. Anne, whose heart was captured by their stories of abandonment, had three beloved dogs of her own Mitch, Evangeline and Stuart whom sadly she leaves behind. Spending time at her "Rio Haus" in La Grange, Texas was another thing Anne loved to do. There she enjoyed relaxing on her back porch, fishing, rafting and/or canoeing down the Colorado River. Above all she enjoyed sharing her country getaway with all her friends. Though out the years she hosted many parties and always made certain that everyone who wanted to raft or canoe down the river had a great time. Anne was a long time member of the Cayenne Social Club BBQ Cooking Team and always enjoyed spending time at the Annual Houston Livestock Show & Rodeo Cook-off every year. She leaves behind many friends who will miss her dearly. A celebration of her Life will take place on June 13th from 11 am to 2 pm in La Grange, Texas.
