Daisy was born on August 14, 1952 in New Delhi, India to Ruth and Kenneth Samuel and grew up in New Delhi with her five siblings, Doris, David, Dolly, Daniel, and Dorothy. After high school, she began working at All India Radio while simultaneously completing her college degree through correspondence.
On January 4, 1982, she married Augustine Masih in New Delhi and they had a loving, devoted, and fulfilling marriage until her death. Augustine and Daisy believed that marriage meant doing everything together and that is how their marriage operated– through big and small moments of life, they never left each other physically or emotionally. Their two children, Jada and Joshua, easily became the center of her life and she demonstrated her love for them by doing. Her absolute joy is personified in her two grandchildren, Abigail and Zoey. In addition, her two dog babies, JJ and Coojo, adored her and she pampered them through the grandest gestures of affection and care.
After emigrating to the US in 1996 with her children to join Augustine, she worked in several fields and volunteered at her church. Daisy and Augustine settled in the San Fernando Valley of Los Angeles after moving to the US and lived in Chatsworth and Reseda. In 2012, she proudly became a US Citizen.
She lived her life as a devout christian and found her passion in writing about her faith. She wrote and published numerous songs and poems in English and Hindi to this end and some of her poems won awards. She published a Hindi album in the early 1990s called Aanandvani which translates to “sound of joy”. She also published a collection of poems titled At the Feet of Jesus.
On February 13, 2024, she suffered a massive stroke from which she never recovered. Daisy was kind and generous and will be missed immensely by all whom she touched and leaves behind her husband, children, grandchildren, and numerous extended family members and friends in the US and India.
