Mildred Field's Obituary
Mildred Field, a resident of San Leandro for over 70 years, passed away peacefully at her home in San Leandro on Tuesday, January 26, 2021. Mildred was a dedicated wife, mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother. She was born May 10, 1927 on the island of Oahu, Hawaii.

All who knew her, experienced her generosity, kind heart, strength, and selflessness. She will never stop being an inspiration to those who knew her. She is survived by her daughters Janice Mitchell and Linda Sanos, son-in-law Douglas O’Callaghan, and grandsons John O’Callaghan, Matthew & Joseph Mitchell, James Sanos and their families.
