Daisy Katz Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Brezniak Funeral Directors - Newton on Feb. 16, 2024.
Daisy (Delicia) Nahmias Katz was born on January 4,1923 to Chaim and Oro Nahmias in New York City. She was predeceased by her husband Sam, siblings Fanny Assa, Martha Engel and Leo Nahmias as well as her son Robert, daughter-in-law Kathleen and son-in-law Robert Zalosh.
She is survived by her daughter Gloria Zalosh, daughter-in-law Donna Mitchell and her four grandsons Michael (Burke) and Matthew (Alisa) Zalosh and Ahmon and Sam (Chanel) Katz. She is also survived by her eight great-grandchildren, Sophie, Sam, Nina, Will, Jasmine, Tansy, Ivy, and Nina and many nieces and nephews.
Daisy married Samuel Katz in 1943 in New York City and they raised their family in the Bronx where they enjoyed all the cultural benefits of the city.
Daisy was a great cook and baker as well as an accomplished artist, seamstress and knitter. Daisy and Sam retired to Florida in 1978 and after her beloved Sam died in 1980, she broadened her artistic endeavors to include sculpture, stained glass and calligraphy. She was an inveterate traveler well into her eighties and a daily walker into her nineties. After her second retirement in Florida, she began volunteering in elementary schools since she always wanted to be a teacher.
She relocated to Massachusetts in 2010.
Daisy had a full and rich life and will be sorely missed.
