Emma Wise, 66, of Queens, New York, passed Sunday, December 17, 2017. Emma was born to Thomas, and Odella Fields, December 15, 1951, in Queens, New York. Emma attended Public schools of Queens, New York. She married Joseph Wise in 1988. They lived together in Queens and later relocated to Salisbury, Md where she found work at Campbell Soup Company.

She was always instrumental in constantly trying to keep the family focused on remaining united. She continued to be the supreme hostess of her expanding circle of friends and family.

Left to cherish fond memories of her are her husband, Joseph Wise of Salisbury, Md; her one and only brother, Charles Fields; 4 children: Shirley Fields, Layton Wise (Moraima), Francine Wise, and Shawn Wise (Tracey). She also is survived by 10 grandchildren, and 4 great-grandchildren.
