Amber was born in Joplin, Missouri at Oaks hospital to Michael and Rhonda Bowers Fields. She moved with her parents to Tulsa at three months.
While growing up she attended church at Highland Park Christian Church. She went to Skelly Elementary, Verdigris Middle School, Wheaton High School and Jenks High School. While at Skelly she broke the record getting “Student of the Month”. She maintained a 4.0 grade point average throughout. She was also active in and excelled in several outside activities, including soccer, volleyball, track, dance and FFA.
Amber was a strong believer and loved to attend Lifechurch with her family. She had a large family, including her son: Levi Carter, Parents: Rhonda & Dr Bryan Whitlock of Tulsa, OK and Stacy & Michael Fields of Wheaton, MO, Siblings: Adam Fields and Ariel Fields, half sister Kayla Shoemaker, step sisters: Haylee Whitlock, Corynne Whitlock and Emerey Whitlock, grandparents: Ronald & Gloria Bowers and Judi & Ronnie Williams, Sister-in-law Renee Hancocks and Nephew Leo Knox Fields in Australia, as well as many aunts, uncles and cousins.
Amber was passionate about God, friends and family. She loved to read books and watch movies. She was often speaking in movie quotes to the delight and entertainment of her family. She had a keen interest in history. She loved beauty and was always interested in fashion, make-up and hair, especially shoes.. She loved shoes. She was a very talented writer and has authored many eloquent and elaborate poems.
She met the love of her young life, Joshua Blaine Hilberling in early 2010. They were wed in June of that year. They soon moved to Fairbanks, Alaska to where Josh was stationed in the Air Force. It was there that they found out they were expecting. They returned to Tulsa where she gave birth to Levi Carter on August 6, 2011. He is a beautiful mix of both his mother and father. She continued her education and was taking classes from Rose State College and maintained her 4.0 GPA.
She loved to spend time with her son, Levi. She continued to fight for her innocence every day. She loved deeply.
The family was asked for words that they would use to describe Amber, here is a partial list:
Spunky, wise, genuine, witty, strong, gorgeous, funny, intelligent, loving, tender, artistic, creative, girly, courageous, dependable, extroverted, strong willed, sympathetic, original, caring, unique, kind, brave, clever, hilarious, open-minded, loyal, well written and spoken…
Amber, you are now free. Dance before Jesus. Reunite with your husband. We will be with you again soon, save a place for us. For now, you will be missed. Fly High Amber! A beautiful sister, wife, daughter, mother, granddaughter, friend, cousin, niece... and Angel.
I recently read/ saw the one sided(as usual) bio regarding Amber. I felt for her and was immediately preparing to write her, in Tulsa or wherever she might have been. I honestly felt some pull towards this young woman, that was hard to explain. I figured the least I could do was let her know that we all live , at times , between the colors of absolute truth and circumstance. I would have gladly been a person to shine or make the effort to , give her hope. I was a longtime radio morning show host in Gainesville,Fla. And a friend of of Han and the late Dwight Twilley of Tulsa… I was shocked to learn moments later of her demise. I am heartbroken for your loss. I am heartbroken period. Lane Greyy High Sprs , Fla .

For the sake of Amber and Joshua's son Levi, I pray both families can come together and unite for Levi, who is an innocent victim in his young life's tragic story. Forgiveness is sometimes extraordinarily difficult. Grudges build walls. Allow Levi the gift of knowing BOTH of his parents families. He deserves all the love and support from both villages. Love over hate.

I am truly sorry Amber passed so soon. She should have at least served her 25 years before killing herself out of guilt. The same guilt that was shown in the police video. As to her parents: you are famous now. Enjoy the fame.

I have sympathy for Amber, but I do believe she intentionally pushed him out the window. It’s a tragedy.

My condolences to this poor family! To both families that lost a child, i’m hoping her son Levi grows up to be a loving adult and is not affected by the hate that this world projects.

My Suck is exactly what you do. You suck. How dare you speak of the dead that way. The good Lord forgives everyone whether they sin or not but you my friend will face your maker some day probably the devil, and I hope for your sake he forgives you. Rest in peace Amber you’re an Angel among wolves that attack you. Your son will know of your love, dedication and strength through your parents so don’t you worry. The video at the police station should not have been admissible in court they spied on you and that’s despicable!! You protected yourself and your child that’s what you did. Peace and love my child.

I have the opportunity to interview Ronda on Up Close with Corey Taylor, around the one year time since Amber's death. I hope and pray, by the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that I am able to bring some vindication for Amber, Levi and her family. Most importantly, may this entire tragedy be used to help bring change to the criminal justice system in the state of Oklahoma and perhaps around the entire country. Wishing the family continued peace and strength to maintain their fight for injustices. May Josh and Amber's death not be in vain.

RIP Amber. I truly believe you were wrongly judged. You seem to have a heart of gold and an amazing attitude. May you now be in peace! Love ❤️ from Canada!

Words will never replace the truth God gave to you in this beautiful soul called Amber. To see, without knowing, these lives caught up in something so small as a butterfly effect, where chaos proceeded to live....Thank God for your Angel Levi. May your days be abundant with peace, love and joy, and may your Angels always watch you from above always. I hope I may never know what it feels like to lose a child, but I do know how it feels to lose someone too soon. My heart and prayers are with you. Thank you for allowing me to leave this message. It really pains me to see people who truly want nothing but to be happy, but the world is always making it harder even when they don't have any business to. Again I can never be sorry enough for your loss. Peace, love and light.

My heart had broken for Amber and Josh from the first day of hearing of this awful accident. I believe they were young, a bit immature and pregnant hormones don't mix with husbands who go out with friends and leave wife n baby home. I wasn't there. But I saw true remorse from Amber. I didn't believe she ever thought about what's going to happen when I push him? She just got mad and pushed him. They probably would have made up and thanked God the window didn't break. If it hadn't. Rest In Peace Amber. You were a very beautiful girl. Losing your husband tragically and watching another person raise your baby, even though thank God for that and your Mom,had to be tearing your heart out. I pray your in heaven. You weren't a viscous criminal. What a tragic love story. I'm so sorry.
Karolyn Hanks.
I read your story and was so sad. I was so extremely upset about your Loss Amber. I feel listening to your story that is was a very horrible accident, that happened so quickly nothing could have been done to save Josh. It just shows that domestic violence is a very serious issue that should be addressed. Loving someone is not putting your hands on them and then being honest and calling the police literally did nothing but blow up in your face. And now your son is left without his mother or father, there was no justice for either your family or Josh's. Your in heaven now and i hope you have gotten piece now. God Bless you and your family. Rip Sweetheart!
Alliea Littrell
Hearing your story brought tears to my eyes and I'm praying for all those who loved and are grieving her loss. Amber's family and friends will grieve forever the loss of this beautiful young woman who had so much talent and whose earthly life would have continued to touch many in positive ways. May it bring you peace and solace to know there are people everywhere who are touched by this tragic chain of events and share your pain and will continue to pray for you and especially a young man who will grow up never knowing his Mom and Dad. RIP; A brother in Christ.

It breaks my heart to see this sweet baby boy lose both of his parents! It was very plain to see that Amber didn't mean to kill this man & it was a horrible accident. However, parents, if she was my daughter, I would go after the apartment complex they lived in!!!! I know this might not be the place for this comment but I don't know where else to reach y'all. They caused two people to lose their lives! Amber is an angel now & doesn't remember all that has happened to her in this ugly world! That's how our GOD rewards HIS children!

I have just watched the programme in England and it was very powerful. I believe that she is innocent and it was a tragic accident. Feel for the family and her son. RIP Amber stay strong
Margaret Bradley
Only You had to bear what life brought to You Amber. No one can ever know how it was for You. No one was has the right to judge You, but we All have the right to Love You. Leaving us behind took You more courage than those who have to stay. No one can defile you now, no one can ever forget You, and You will always be loved for the person you were and the young Mother which no one can ever take away. Levi will be Loved - You always knew that. And Levi will always Love You. God Bless You Amber.

So, so, sorry for the loss of this beautiful, young, intelligent woman. Sending love and strength to all family members. Peace is with Amber now; may earthly justice prevail through her where all tainted humanity has let her down. May all casted stones be laid heavily on those who tossed them. Peace and love to you, Amber. Peace and love.

I have been saddened by the turn of events that Amber has faced. I lost my 69 year old brother yesterday morning. I'm in mourning too at this time. I pray that this family and mine can cope the next few weeks and get this behind us. Cancer is a wicked thing to humanity. I'm a older man but I have viewed Amber as a beautiful women. I believe that she was done wrong. I'm sorry that our court system is so messed up. My thoughts are with you good people today.
Larry Rogers
My condolences to the family and friend of Amber. May you find comfort in the memories and the hope for the future. The promise in John 5:28,29 states" do not be amazed at this for the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out. What a glorious day that will be. With deep respect, Spp

I'm so sorry for your loss! I buried my son at the age of 39 so I have a full understanding of how your heart hurts. I am the grandma to a young woman who was in Tulsa county with Amber. Saige tells me they became friends and wanted to stay in touch but it's not allowed. She was very upset to hear about Amber and wanted me to let you know she is praying for your family to heal.

Hers is a tragic story, but I pray she is now at peace. I will keep you in my prayers as your family tries to move forward during this devastating time.
