Daisy Arlene (Blazek) Brown was born at home Nov. 22, 1928, to Rudolph and Gladys (Coleman) Blazek, northeast of Prescott in Union Township, Adams County. She was the second born of four children.

She attended rural school at Maple Grove — Union No. 3 — and graduated from Prescott High School with the Class of 1946.

In 1979 they moved to a new home built by Daisy’s brother, Louis Blazek, southeast of Brooks in Jasper Township on land they purchased in 1968.
