Daisy Heinz Obituary

Heinz, Daisy Irene (Walker)
passed peacefully from the arms of her loving husband into the waiting arms of her Savior on Sunday, February 9, 2014. Daisy was born August 31, 1930, the youngest of seven children born to Claude and Irene Walker of Springfield, IL. She and her beloved "Will" had six children. She is preceded in death by five brothers and three of her children, John, Paul and Linda. Daisy is survived by her husband, William Lee Heinz; daughters Diana (Brian) Hough, Sharon Stewart, Patricia Smith; sister Mary Chamberlain; sister-in-law Ada Walker; eleven grandchildren and seventeen great grandchildren. Daisy lived life dedicated to serving the Lord. She will be remembered for her beautiful piano music and her ministry of encouragement, spreading cheer (and homemade vegetable soup) to the sick and grieving. She leaves a legacy of faith and love that will carry on until we are all united in heaven one day. Memorial services were held on Saturday at Good Shepherd Chapel in Peoria, AZ. Sun City Christian Church, Sun City, AZ will be the location of a second memorial service on Monday, February 17th @ 1:30 pm.

Grandma it seems as if our time together was not long enough. Even though we know you had to go we will all miss you. God called you home to be an angel and sit by his throne. Thank you for all that you gave and showed me. I can only pray God will see fit to bless my husband and family with as much love as you showed us all. I will not say goodbye for this is not the end, instead I will say see you soon. Fly high with the angels and rest your head in the garden of heaven where I know you are the most beautiful and special Daisy there. Love you always and forever grandma.

She lived a faith filled life, brought much laughter and joy to all her knew her and taught us the true meaning of unconditional love. The greatest woman I will ever know. Thank you for being my momma.

When trying to remember my first words as a very small child, two that always went together were " PRETTY" and "GRANDMA". As I discovered the world around me and put a name to all the objects that I encountered, I wanted to show you my discoveries and would tell you, "Grandma, look Pretty!" Weather it be a cloud, a sunset or a single dandelion in the grass. In the kingdom of heaven I cannot imagine the beauty that you will be there to show us.
