When asked if his wife - who goes by the name Renee - could have left on her own, Lewis Field replied that though they “sort of come and go,” they never stay away overnight. Nevertheless, he said, “I do think it’s possible that she’s away for a while. I think her intent was to do something short-term.” What’s confusing him now, if his guess is correct, is why she’s stayed away for so long without contacting her parents – or him – to let them know she’s okay. “Maybe she’s embarrassed because of the stir-up,” he said – but he’s concerned...
Renee Field wasn’t always a stay-at-home person. After college, she worked three or four different jobs in the nursing field. And later, her husband said, she ran the Jefferson Area Board for Aging (JABA) senior center in Fluvanna and painted with the Painters at the Lake group from Lake Monticello. But eventually those activities dropped off.
“She’s had some health issues over the decades, and some of them have interfered with her activities,” Lewis Field said. “She had an injury a few years back, too. Working at the senior center involved lifting and that caused problems. It was good work but it’s not worth injuring yourself over.”
