Daisy was a Pink Lady Volunteer at CGH and served as the church secretary at Rock Falls United Methodist Church for many years, where she found joy in meeting and assisting people. She also took pleasure in tending to her yard and garden. On August 1, 1948, Daisy married the love of her life, Jack Linker, at “The Little Brown Church in the Vale” in Nashua, Iowa. They recently celebrated their 75th wedding anniversary. Daisy held a deep affection for her family, church community, and the game of pinochle. Her absence will be keenly felt.

Daisy was preceded in death by six sisters: Eleanor Harding, Vivian Tegeler, Betty Senese, Fern Bramm, Leta Wolfe, MaryLou Meyer; and two brothers: Wilbur Frankfother and Duane Frankfother.
