Daisy Jolean Pippett was born on April 17, 2002 in Sioux Falls, SD to Craig Pippett and Haley Fitch. She attended grade school at Remsen Union, middle school at Le Mars Community and would have been a junior at South Central Calhoun in Lake City, IA. When Daisy was younger she enjoyed building forts, playing with baby dolls and her stuffed mouse, “Mousey”, Barbies, dressing up her dog, riding bikes and gymnastics. In middle school, Daisy became active in volleyball and choir, but really loved being outside. She liked boating with her dad and family, being at the lake, swimming, hiking and laying in her hammock during the summer and playing in the winter snow. She loved traveling and being adventurous with family and friends. In high school, she was on the track team and continued in the choir. She enjoyed hanging out with her friends and having fires with her friends and family. Daisy also loved planning and having themed parties with her best friend (mom) where her family guests would try new recipes Daisy baked. They would also play board and card games. Movie night were also a favorite. Daisy was extremely thoughtful, putting everyone before herself and making sure everyone felt loved and taken care of. She was always a good listener and when she spoke, she was very genuine and always encouraged people to be their best. Her friends considered her to be their group therapist, but always enjoyed her contagious laugh and crazy silliness. Daisy also loved her little brother and sister very deeply. She loved taking them on adventures with her!
