She graduated from Sequoyah Indian School in Tahlequah and began working in the cafeteria at Camp Gruber. Sophia married Harry G. Fields on December 5, 1047 in Muskogee, Oklahoma.

Following her retirement from the hospital, Sophia began a 15 year career with Claremore Public Schools as a cafeteria worker at Westside School.

Fields; her grandchildren Matthew Fields, Amber Brassfield, Glen Turner III, Kyle Brassfield, Sophia Turner, Cindy Wilson and Justin Brassfield; her great grandchildren Alyssa Walkup, Carley Fields and Lillie Turner; her brother Abraham Collier; her sisters Jenny Mertens and Ella Anque.
