Heather Alane Rupe Fields, 45, of Newport, passed away peacefully with her parents by her side on Saturday June 6, 2020.

Heather was born a Radford Bobcat and graduated from Radford High School in 1993. She had a love for and was active in various sports. Heather achieved an Associates Degree in 2014 from NRCC. Heather was very invested in her employment at Food Lion, Petsmart and the U.S. Postal Service. She shared her love for Radford and Giles County, supporting her children and the community in thought and action. Heather also had a special love for her family, the Green Team Warriors and animals.
