Daisy O. DuBose

DAISY OCTAVIA (ANDERSON) DUBOSE, daughter of the late Martin Luther Anderson and Daisy Estelle Anderson was born in Glen Burnie, Maryland on November 16, 1926. She peacefully departed this life on November 2, 2023. “Momma,” “Granny,” “Momma Daisy” or “Ms. Daisy,” as she was affectionately called, attended primary school in Anne Arundel County, and Bates High School in Annapolis. Her work career was varied and included working at a cleaners in Glen Burnie Mall, Ft. Meade and M.V.A. Daisy loved the Lord! During a pilgrimage to Liberia, Africa with her bible study group, she was baptized in a river. Daisy was a long-standing and devoted member of John Wesley United Methodist Church and faithfully attended every Sunday until COVID, after which she decided to stop driving. After that, devoted friends and family were, “driving Ms. Daisy.” She served as a Communion Steward for many years and supported the John Wesley Methodist Women’s Auxiliary. She was also a devoted member of her Thursday evening Bible study group for over 30 years, and even participated from her hospital bed. What gave Daisy the most peace during her hospital stay and before her death, was hearing the word of God being read to her, or in prayer. Daisy’s spirit and her mind were much younger than her years. She loved to laugh and had a great sense of humor. Daisy was feisty, witty, inquisitive, and stylish. When you asked Daisy for her opinion, she gave it to you. She enjoyed a good meal, but her favorite part of any meal was dessert. Most of all Daisy was loving, and her love, compassion, generosity, and warmth were felt by everyone she encountered. She never missed an opportunity to talk to people, and to show them that she cared. Until she stopped driving three years ago, she regularly visited the sick and shut-in, “her patients.” Daisy expressed her gratitude for every act of kindness shown to her. She would always say, “Thank you for your kindness.” Even during her hospital stay, she always managed to say “thank you” to everyone with whom she interacted. A Word From Heaven Remember not my fight for breath, remember I’m with Christ; Please do not dwell upon my death, but celebrate my life. In addition to her parents, Daisy was preceded in death by her beloved husband, Milford, whom she was married to for 43 years, and all her siblings: Arbutus, Margaret, Martin, Virgie, Aletha, Mildred, Ella and Louise. Daisy leaves to cherish her memory: her loving and devoted children, Billy (Maxine), Paula (Ernest), and Danielle (Rob); six granddaughters, Latasha, LaNita (Jason), Chanel (Alexis), Tiffany (Joey), Dasia, and Niya; six great-grandchildren, Lanae (Kenny), Lindsay, McKenzie, L.J., Asa and Alegra; four great-great-grandchildren, Kenny III, Aaron, Gabrielle and Janelle; one sister-in-law, Phyllis Anderson; and a host of nieces, nephews and dear friends.
