Daisy Inez Barbee, 92, of Concord, passed away Sunday, April 23, 2017 at Morningside Assisted Living where she had resided for the past five years since her husband, Lee J's death.
Daisy was born March 10, 1925 in Cabarrus County to the late William Lawson and Gatha Coley McDonald. In December 1944 she married Lee J., the love of her life, and for the next 67 years until his death in 2012 they made beautiful memories.
