As a devout Christian, Daisy was a faithful member of Southview Baptist Church where she was lovingly guided by Pastor Kyle Gulledge. Her faith was an integral part of her life, providing her with strength and comfort.

Daisy's love for her family was unparalleled and she treasured every moment spent with them. She found immense joy in the simple pleasures of life, such as watching hummingbirds and butterflies, listening to bluegrass and gospel music and tending to her beautiful flower garden.

As the last of twelve children, Daisy carried forward the spirit and strength of her family, which she has passed on to her loved ones to continue that legacy. She always put others before herself, embodying the true essence of selflessness and compassion.

Daisy will be forever loved and deeply missed; her memory will always be cherished by all who knew her. She leaves behind a legacy of love, kindness, grace and joy that will continue to inspire and uplift her family, friends and all who knew her.
