“ Daisy C. Cruz passed away peacefully on January 11, 2021, after a two year battle with lymphoma. Daisy was Cuban, born to Armando and Dioserada García (both deceased). She lived most of her life in Miami, where she met her future husband during the mid 1960s. Daisy and Jesús were married in 1970, and were fortunate to celebrate fifty years of marriage this past August. She was a loving, devoted daughter, wife, mother and grandmother, who enjoyed, most of all, sharing time with her family. She enjoyed doing her Sudoku and other puzzles at breakfast every morning.
In addition to Jesús, Daisy is survived by her son, Sergio W. Cruz (wife: Laura), her daughter Christina Yanes (husband: Felipe) and three grandchildren, Alejandra Cruz, Cecilia Cruz and Sergio Andrés Cruz, numerous cousins, and other relatives and friends.
In lieu of flowers, please consider contributions to the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society in memory of Daisy.”
