She is also survived by two grandchildren, Jason Sparks (Amber) and Madison Hatfield (Blake); two great grandsons, Jameson and Eli Sparks; and nieces Candy Weir, Kathy McCellan, Marcia Kelling, and nephew, Rick Stewart.

Daisy had a hard life, growing up during the Depression years. Her father died when she was four years old. She contributed to her family by doing chores on their farm.

She had a variety of jobs during her lifetime. She was most proud of the two years she spent during WWII working for North American Aviation as “Rosie the Riveter.” She helped assemble the flaps on the B-25 Bombers.

Later she worked at the Western Electric plant in Lee’s Summit in the Purchasing Department and retired from AT&T in 1985. She enjoyed many friendships with her AT&T colleagues in the Pioneers group.

Daisy enjoyed cooking, canning, gardening, quilting. Fishing and watching the KC Royals and Chiefs. Her grandchildren and great grandchildren brought much love and joy into her life.

The family will celebrate her life with a private graveside service.
