Her Story

Daisy Mae Montgomery was born February 14, 1924, to the late Oscar and Jenny Montgomery in Madison County, Florida, Daisy was the 3rd of 11 children. She attended the public schools in Madison where one of her classmates was the Late Mr. Ray Charles. Singing in the choir was one of the things she enjoyed. She gave her life to Jesus Christ at an early age where she continued in life as a devout Christian believer.
Later in her short-lived teen life, Daisy Mae meets this handsome gentleman by the name of Aaron Denmark; they dated a short time, and she was married at the age of 16 in 1940. While this union of love and devotion took place, so did the birth of twelve children as she would always say she never knew what teen age life was, but she loved her life! Daisy Mae and her family eventually moved to Jacksonville, Florida due to a change in her husband's job on the railroad. She continued to raise her family while her husband worked. One of their favorite past times was to watch wrestling and animal shows.
