Daisy B. Williams was born in Phoebus, Va. on March 9, 1913, and grew up with two brothers and one sister. She has such a nurturing and persevering demeanor that she pursued a nursing career and then later became a daycare provider for many years.

She attributes her longevity to God’s mercy, love, blessings and favor.

For Daisy’s 100th birthday in 2013, a wonderful celebration was held where Baltimore City Council president, Bernard โ€œJackโ€ Young, honored her. Another grand gathering was held at Martin’s West in honor of her Centennial birthday.

Joining this yearโ€™s celebration, at an undisclosed location, will be her two daughters, generations of grandchildren, and a host of other family members and friends.

Her daughter, Dorothy Turner, said, โ€œThroughout her life, she has always been a sophisticated and stylish lady, and she keeps that sense of style and sophistication at age 101.โ€
