We celebrate the beautiful life of Mi Yop “Liz” Fairfield, a woman whose energy lit up every room. Friends and family remember her easy laughter and the way she turned ordinary days into happy moments.
Born on January 15th, 1933, in Pyongyang, Korea, Liz carried her heritage with pride wherever life took her. That early start shaped a spirit that stayed adventurous and open-hearted.
Liz’s talents filled many fields. She worked as a Korean language specialist, earned her pilot’s exam, played both piano and guitar, shared her art on canvas, and taught with patience and joy.
Curious, resilient, kind, supportive, and creative, Liz made lasting impressions wherever she went. Everyone seemed to know her name, and everyone loved her for the simple warmth she offered.
She shared a devoted marriage with her late husband Lewis Fairfield. Her life remains a bright guide for her daughter Mi Won Lee and her son Billy Fairfield, who carry her love forward.
Liz passed away on May 28th, 2026, in Olympia, Washington. As we remember her, let music, art, and friendly smiles keep her spirit close, reminding us that a full life is one shared generously with others.nding with Mountain View Funeral Home.
