She departed her earthly life and entered into eternal rest with the Lord on Tuesday, September 8, 2020 after a lengthy illness. Daisy received her primary education in Mayesville, South Carolina and continued her secondary education in the Baltimore City Public School System after her family moved from South Carolina to Baltimore, Maryland in 1961. She later met Moses Gardner, Jr., and they were united in marriage on September 21, 1966. Out of this union came five beautiful children. After the passing of Moses Gardner Jr., she later re-married.

Daisy worked various jobs, she retired from “The Knish Shop” in Pikesville, Maryland, where she was “Head Chef” until 2010. At an early age, Daisy gave her life to the Lord, and continued to serve the Lord with gladness. She was a proud member of Community Baptist Church, under the leadership of Rev.

She had a unique gift of drawing people to the Lord and had a passion for young people. You would often hear her quote her favorite scripture, Psalms 34:1 “I will bless the Lord at all times and his praise shall continually be in my mouth”. She was passionate about the work of ministry and led family members, friends and so many others to Christ, until her transition. Daisy was a very loving, outgoing person with a beautiful and glowing smile who loved her family and friends dearly. She loved to cook for family gatherings on holidays and birthdays. Some of her favorite dishes to cook were banana pudding, sweet potato pie, baked macaroni and cheese, collard greens, yams and other dishes that may have been requested.
