Born June 23, 1933 in Hurlock, MD, she was the daughter of the late Myrtle Elizabeth Nichols Pinder and the late William Leon Sampson. She graduated with the class of 1951 from FD Sinclair School; Cambridge, MD.

Her places of employment included Rob Roy's Sewing Factory, Acme Cannery, The Harriet Tubman Coalition in Cambridge, MD and Wal-Mart as a greeter, to name a few. Ms. Daisy could be found spending many hours attending to and nurturing her beautiful flower garden. We believed that is where she spent most of her time de-stressing and having her "Just a Little Talk" with Jesus time! Her sewing abilities were phenomenal. Sister Daisy was a member of Greater Mt.
