We all have stories - My Great Nanny Daisy

Today I wanted to devote time to the life story of a truly beautiful woman who most people never had the pleasure of meeting; my Great Nanny Daisy.

Where to begin? Whatever I say I feel will not truly justify how wonderful Nanny Daisy really was, but I will try.  Nanny Daisy had a sense of fun and happiness in her life which many people picked up. Her joyful singing, where moments of silence in conversation were lifted by a hymn or tune. Nanny Daisy achieved a lot across her lifetime reaching 101 years of age, by retaining her independence for most of her life. There was a sense of elegance about Nanny as she had a timeless sense of style and made an effort to dress up for occasions as well as everyday life. Like any Mother would, she did all that she could raise her children, having her first child the year the Second World War started.

Daisy Bunn 1914 - 2016


Nanny Daisy always enjoyed laughing and the family knew she had a good sense of humour. She enjoyed watching British comedy classics, I have memories of putting on some of the films from my 'Carry On' collection with Nanny happily laughing at the opening credits to Carry On Behind. One of her favourites were the great comedy duo Morecombe and Wise, so rather fittingly the family chose their song to say goodbye to Nanny today, as she brought sunshine and laughter with her good natured spirit and will dearly be remembered for it.
