John and Lois Daughtridge 1926-2004 1927- 1967
|
Lois Steger Daughtridge was a truly extraordinary woman, always putting the needs of others above her own. "My mother did everything from church work to volunteering at the Center For the Blind," recalled her daughter Harriet D. Harris, "She was extremely active in the community." Mrs. Daughtridge tragically died of cancer at the age of 40 in 1967. Mr. Daughtridge passed away in 2004 after a long struggle with diabetes and heart disease. Although Mr. and Mrs. Daughtridge are no longer with us, their memory lives on thanks to the Daughtridge Family Fund.
