| The White Mountain Independent Show Low, Arizona 11/11/2008 Daisy Amanda Woods, 94, died Oct. 29, 2008, in Thornton, Colo. She was born Jan. 10, 1914, in Laverne, Okla., to John Franklin Martin and Leha Viola Laney. Daisy grew up on a farm near Garden City, Kansas with her parents and six brothers. When she was 19 she joined her brother Earl on his homestead near Red Hill, N.M. This is where she met her husband Andy. They were married April 20, 1937, and the Woods' homestead on the Little Colorado River became their home. In 1940, they adopted their daughter Shirley. Daisy worked in the telephone office for several years and was a nurse's aid at the local hospital for over 20 years. Her love and caring personality were reflected in her work as she cared for the sick. In 2002 Daisy moved from Springerville to live with her daughter and son-in-law in Colorado. Although she lived in Denver, her heart remained in Springerville. Now her heart and soul are joined together, next to her husband where she wanted to be and near the home she loved. None of these statistics can describe the wonderful aroma of the cinnamon rolls she made or the beautiful quilts and needlework she shared with those she loved. Daisy is survived by her daughter, Shirley (Lin) Livermore; grandchildren, Tracy Smith, Joyce Kissel, and Andy Livermore; great-grandchildren, Andrea, Amanda, Aliana, Christina, David, Zach, and Drew; and many friends. She was predeceased by her husband, Andy Woods. A graveside service was held Thursday, Nov. 6, at 11 a.m. at the Eagar Cemetery. In her memory, donations can be made to the Missionary Fund of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Burnham Mortuary of Eagar handled the arrangements See Also: Find A Grave |
