Daisy graduated from NCCC and earned her Bachelors and Masters Degrees in Education from SUNY College at Buffalo. She taught special education in Niagara Falls until retiring in 1992, and then went on to teach at Stella Niagara in Youngstown.
Daisy was active in her church and community, sang in the choir, was a past president of the Altar & Rosary Society and the Secular Franciscan Order, taught CCD classes, and brought Holy Communion to the homebound.
