On August 1, 1985, she married her longtime friend, Gib Stephens, and by 1990, they had settled in the Cole area. Daisy loved helping Gib on the farm, helping wherever she could. They enjoyed traveling together, and taking bus tours, and she was so excited to be able to take the majority of her family on an Alaskan Cruise a few years back. Daisy was an avid quilter and loved to needlepoint. She was a gifted musician, and could play multiple instruments, and she enjoyed playing the piano, the organ and the accordion for her church. Daisy was a bright soul, full of life, and when asked how she would like to be remembered, she said, ?a good friend, and one who could be trusted. She was a wonderful wife and mother, grandmother and friend. She will be dearly missed!
