Early life

Denise Marie Miarecki was born in 1971 in Chicago Corners, Wisconsin, to Gale and Wanda Miarecki, one of their four children.[1]

Upon leaving school, Miarecki began an eighteen-year career in marketing.[1] In 2012, two years after first visiting the site with her family,[2] she purchased the baseball field in Dyersville, Iowa, featured in the 1989 movie Field of Dreams, from the Lansing family. She established the company Go The Distance Baseball and created a youth sports tournament complex—the All-Star Ballpark Heaven[3]—with an intent to host a Major League Baseball (MLB) game at the venue.[4] In 2021, three years after her death, the venue, which is now named Field of Dreams, hosted an MLB game between the Chicago White Sox and the New York Yankees. The game was titled MLB at Field of Dreams.[5][6]

Stillman was first married to Mike Stillman.[7] In 2016, she remarried, to Tom Mietzel.[1] She had two children: a son and a daughter.[2][8]

Death
