Colonel Guy Peake (Retired) and Eloise (Vivian) Peake (both deceased). She was married to her husband Tyrone (Ty) Clinton for over 60 years. She moved to Texas in 1978.

Daisy was a Military (US Air Force) Brat. She graduated from Gwinn High School, Gwinn, MI in 1964. She was a member of the high school band, was instrumental in forming the school Majorettes (she was the head twirling Majorette) and was a Candy Striper at K. I. Sawyer AFB, MI.

She met Ty at Swanzy Lake near K. I. Sawyer AFB, MI in the summer of 1962, she gradually fell head over heels in love with him as he did her, and married him on August 7, 1964, at St. Peter's Cathedral, Marquette, MI. Fr. Raymond F. Moncher (deceased) celebrated the Nuptial Mass. Shortly after the wedding, the newly married couple flew to Frankfurt, Germany where Ty was stationed at Rhein-Main AFB. They spent 2 ½ years there and lived on the economy and in base housing, and were able to travel to Austria, France, Holland, Italy, Switzerland and around Germany before Ty's tour of duty was up at which time they returned to the United States.

Daisy was a devout Catholic, devoted wife, mother and grandmother, and a kind and loving person who never met a stranger. She enjoyed her family, painting, reading, playing the piano and horseback riding. She was a Mary Kay consultant for over 46 years.
