Daphne was born on July 16, 1936, in Englewood, New Jersey. She was predeceased by her parents, Louisa Olive Smith and Harry Gulespie Smith.
Daphne is survived by her ever-loving, dedicated husband, Stanley John Palinski and her caring sister, Audrey Class. She is also survived by her children; Kevin Kranenburg, Douglas Kranenburg and his wife Kathy, Linda Sokolove and husband David, and Antonette Stiebritz and husband Joseph. Daphne has left an unending imprint on all of our hearts which will always be cherished throughout the years.
Daphne is honored for being a grandmother of 13 grandchildren and a great grandmother of 19 great grandchildren with two more on the way. As a mom and grandmother, she graciously opened her home which was filled with delicious home cooking and sweet treats.
Whether Daphne was wrangling horses at home or driving an 18 wheeler with her husband, she had a passion for life and accepted any challenges full force. She loved animals and had always provided a loving home to rescued dogs, especially her Greyhounds and lastly her sweet dog, Rosie. No matter what the task was, Daphne still kept herself beautiful with her hair done and make-up in place. This would explain why she became a Cosmetologist working at stores such as Bambergers and Lord & Taylor.
Daphne was an avid Tole painter as seen on her crafts and her exceptional artistry on her Christmas gingerbread cookies. One did not want to eat the cookies because of the detailed artwork, but she graciously shared her cookies with family and friends.
Most of all, Daphne loved the Lord with all of her heart and enjoyed going to church with her husband, Stan, where they were faithful members of Providence Church in Ormond Beach, Fl. Now, Daphne is in paradise with Jesus, whistling one of her favorite old time hymns that she loved so much.
In lieu of flowers the family would like donations made to Providence Church, 151 W. Granada Blvd., Ormond Beach, FL 32174, and Halifax Health Hospice Ormond Beach Care Center, 235 Booth Road, Ormond Beach, FL 32174.
