She had a passion for helping others who were less fortunate, and eagerly volunteered her time to Retired and Senior Volunteer Program (RSVP) of Mattoon, IL. Camping, and spending quality time with her children, grandchildren and friends brought Daisy much joy. The cherished memories and unconditional love she left behind will forever be engraved in the hearts of her loved ones.
