Daisy Howard is a resident in Lower Duck Pond.
==Biography==
===Early life===
Daisy Ann Howard was born on Sunday, June 4th, 1939 in Austin Texas to her parents Lloyd Guy Blaze and Mary Ann Blaze. Daisy was an only child. Daisy lived in Texas for two years before her parents relocated the family to Lower Duck Pond. She attended Lower Duck Pond University.
===Adult life===
On August 12th1957, 18 year old Daisy married her high-school sweetheart, Norman John Howard. They lived a happy life, reaching 60 years of marriage before Norman passed away of old age in 2017. Together they had 3 children, Brian, Mary, and Peter, who each had 3 children of their own.
She worked 52 wonderful years at LDP Elementary School as the school nurse, touching many hearts before retiring in 2016.
=== Late life ===
In 2017 Norman passed, triggering Daisy’s health to decline drastically. The initial bouts of depression after her husbands death were followed by a neglect for her type I diabetes, resulting in the loss of two toes on her left foot. She later developed cataracts in her eyes, and was officially diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease in late 2020.
==Personality==
Daisy is a person who embodies grace, kindness, and acceptance. She has a forgiving heart and is known to never hold a grudge. She can find the best in anyone! She is always willing to lend a helping hand when needed, with no judgment. Over her life, Daisy accumulated a wide circle of friends who think highly of her because of her generosity and kindly disposition.
However, some would describe Daisy a pushover. Her willingness to help and inability to say "No" makes a toxic combination for an outgoing person like Daisy. Though she may feel a bit used at times, Daisy would never mention it.
She is a very gentle soul, with a heart full of love. Her three children would describe her as an attentive parent, and her nine grandchildren would all agree that Nana Howard made the best desserts.
==Appearance==
Daisy has white hair, and is about 5'5, 130 lbs.
She frequents the Dillard's sweater department, and loves to match her whole outfit.
She is also rarely seen without a smile on her face.
==Hobbies==
In her earlier life, Daisy took part in many clubs, sports, and extracurricular activities.
She can regularly be found by the pond, feeding the ducks. That is, if her asthma isn’t bothering her too much.
She also enjoys puzzles, card games, and knitting. Residents at LDP Memory Care Center know well that she is the "Cribbage" Queen, as it has always been her favorite game.
