She is survived by numerous nieces and nephews; a stepson; and a stepdaughter; and two grandchildren. Daisy was fortunate to live long enough to love and be loved by multiple generations; she even had the honor of being a great-great grandma. Daisy graduated from Coughlin High School in 1948.

As an avid sports enthusiast, she enjoyed golf, tennis, football (especially Penn State) and watching the Olympics. Daisy was active with the Telephone Pioneers of America and as a parishioner of St. John the Baptist Orthodox Church, Nanticoke. She loved to read and when she lost her sight, she was grateful to the Carnegie Library for the Blind for providing books on tape. Her family offers a special thank you to Northeast Sight Services, Exeter, for their helpful resources for the visually impaired. Daisy led a good, full life and had a great run; she will be sorely missed.
