She was baptized at a young age at Mt. Sinai Baptist Church by the late Rev.L.H. Kieffer. She was educated at L.B. Landry School and employed for many years with the City of New Orleans. Daisy had a glowing personality that would light up a room whenever she entered. She never met a stranger and would always leave a lasting impression upon all. Daisy was an avid Saints fan who would faithfully yell, blow her whistle and coach her team from her couch. "Miss Daisy" also loved getting dressed in her purple, gold and green for going to the NOMTOC Parade, where she would be seen by spectators and participators "second-lining" with her own personalized, beautifully decorated umbrella. Daisy was united in marriage to Herbert Jackson. She was: the mother of Darlene Brown (Willis), Lisa Marie Brown-Jones (Cedric), and Carl Jackson, Sr. (Joan); Grandmother of Maegan Dorsey (Troy), Raionda Addison (Gregory Sr.), Taylor Janae Jones, Morgan Jackson, Carl Jackson Jr. and Jalen Jordan Jones; Great-Grandmother of Jamari Dorsey, Chestiney Dorsey, Makhi Dorsey, Michael Dorsey and Gregory "Mj" Ravy Jr. Daisy is preceded in death by her parents Chestine and Herman Jackson, one sister Clydell Redmond, and one step-sister Charlsie Williams. She is survived by two sisters-in-law, two brothers-in-law and a host of nieces, nephews, cousins and friends.
