Daisy Caldwell Anderson, 93, went to be with the Lord on Wednesday, August 26, 2015 at the Village at Incarnate Word. She is survived by her beloved husband of 74 years, Fred Charles Anderson; their daughter Bonnie Anderson Yablonski David; three grandchildren: Adam Yablonski, Sarah Yablonski Martinez Isaac, and Amy Yablonski Callaway Adam; 4 great-grandchildren: Emma Kate, Luke, Jonah and Samuel; siblings: Madeleine Caldwell Anderson, Pearl Caldwell Scott, Mary Caldwell Wynn, Richard Caldwell and Robert Caldwell; sisters-in-law: Betty Anderson, Linda Caldwell and Janice Caldwell; and brother-in-law Hale Ham; along with numerous nieces, nephews, extended family and friends. Born, June 29, 1922 in West Point, Kentucky, Daisy was one of eleven children born to Guy Albert Caldwell and Jeanne Michon Caldwell. The family moved to San Antonio where Daisy spent most of her childhood growing up in the same rural farming community just west of San Antonio as her future husband Fred. Fred and Daisy officially met at an Edgewood High School varisty lettering initiation when she was 16 years old. After walking through sticky molasses and grapes as part of the initiation, Fred picked her up and carried Daisy out to the fountain to wash her feet and there he won her heart. After she graduated from Draughn's Business College, Daisy and Fred married on November 15, 1940. Daisy worked as an executive secretary until she became a homemaker and mother. Fred and Daisy lived in the San Antonio area and Helotes Park Estates before moving to Alamo Heights in 1985. Daisy was very active in Castle Hills Christian Church, Bible Study Fellowship, Helotes Garden Club and other civic organizations and activities. Fred and Daisy enjoyed spending time at their ranch in Medina County and their condo in Port Aransas, TX. In later years, Daisy took up a special interest in oil painting South Texas landscapes and wildflowers. Daisy loved her family well and has left an amazing legacy of trusting God in all things. Her life verse was Romans 8:28 "And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose." Visitation will be held Tuesday, September 1, from 6-8 pm at Mission Park North. Memorial Services will be held Wednesday, September 2, at 10 am at Castle Hills Christian Church, 6209 West Ave. Graveside services will follow at San Fernando Cemetery #3 at the Anderson Family Burial Site.
