Daisy was truly a strong woman who loved life with a passion. She never quit or gave up when life got in the way. She was raised in Coalwood, West Virginia, a true coal miner’s daughter. She always loved her family, she believed and loved God, and she always found ways to help others asking nothing in return.
She was truly an amazing woman, wife, mother, grandmother great-grandmother, sister, and friend. Daisy’s strength, love, and kindness will never be forgotten and will be missed. As you start your new life, Pop will be waiting to take you by your hand and ya’ll can walk together once again hand in hand. We are heartbroken, love and miss you, thank you for all that you have given and taught us. Go in peace, tell Pop hi for me. I love you.
