Daisy Ward

It is with great sadness that we share that our beautiful Mother, Daisy Elizabeth Allen Ward, passed away on January 2, 2020.

Daisy was Born in Winslow Indiana February 9,1926. She then moved to Albemarle NC. where she met the love of her life, her husband, George Emory Ward. They were married for 66 years and lived in Tallahassee, Florida for 63 years.

Daisy is survived by 3 Children; Sheila Hammons of Dallas Georgia, Paula Ward of Tampa Florida, and Mike (Sheri) Ward of Clearwater Florida. She has 4 grandchildren; Misty Hammons, Melissa Hammons, Mitchell Hammons and Stephanie Schwartz (Nick); and one great grandchild, Alex Schwartz. Also survived by Cynthia Almond of Reidsville N.C. (sister), Kitty Barns of Wilson N.C. (sister) Kirby Allen of Rockwell N.C. (brother).

Daisy was preceded in death by her parents, Minnie and Joseph Allen; brother, Pearl Allen Jr.; and sisters Nancy Bridges and Gladys Bunn.

Daisy loved playing golf and visiting with family and friends. She was very active at the gym. She was a long-time member of St. Paul's United Methodist Church. She worked for the Florida State University Alumni Association for 16 years.

She was a special mother, always there for you when you were sick or needed someone to talk to. She was very patient and kind.

I feel God and our dad wants her now, to restore her sight, so she can see the beauty of heaven and the ones who went before her. But she will be deeply missed by all.

A graveside service will be held at 1:00 PM, Saturday, January 11, 2020 at Fairview Memorial Park 1425 E. Main St. Albemarle N.C. 28001. A reception at Badin Inn will follow.
