Daisy Marie Newnam

Notes:

From Davenport, Oklahoma.

An article in the "Big Spring Herald," Big Spring, Texas, Sec. D, Thursday, December 14, 1972, titled "Building Planes Became McGuire Family Hobby".....detailed the families project in working on a 1949 Cessna 170 four-seater which was rebuilt by the family. It had been acquired by them early in 1970, with a mechanic repairing the engine and the family stripping and improving the inside. Daisy made the seat covers....A photo of Daisy in the kitchen was included, and the article also focused on her hobbies...noting she "enjoys staying home, and her creativity shines in both sewing and cooking projects." She described her cooking methods as the "dibs of this and dabs of that"....with Daisy noting her children and husband were meat and potato people, but that she liked everything, and she tended to be an "experimenter" if given the chance. Daisy further reported she liked bowling, sailing, water skiing and camping. The family had a sailboat they used on Moss Lake as often as weather and time allowed. Daisy added that now that the plane restoration was complete, and they had moved into their newly purchased home, she was hope to find time to paint, something she has always thought she would enjoy...and also thought she might even get to the point "where I enjoy yard work now that we have our own yard."

Daisy married Keith David McGuire, Jr on 14 Sep 1957 in Chandler, Lincoln County, Oklahoma. Keith (son of Keith David McGuire, Sr. and Josephine Marguerite Morlas) was born on 30 Jan 1932 in New Orleans, Orleans Parish, Louisiana; died on 27 Nov 2020 in Fort Worth, Tarrant County, Texas; was buried in New Zion Cemetery, Chandler, Lincoln County, Oklahoma.

It had been acquired by them early in 1970,with a mechanic repairing the engine and the family stripping and improving the inside. Daisy made the seat covers. It was noted after it was fully assembled, another color was decided upon, so it was taken apart again, repainted and reassembled. Now fully functional, it has been used for fairly frequent trips to visit relatives in Oklahoma. It was further noted Keith was next planning on building a glider.

A photo of Daisy in the kitchen was included, and the article also focused on her hobbies...noting she "enjoys staying home, and her creativity shines in both sewing and cooking projects."

Daisy reported she liked bowling, sailing, water skiing and camping. The family had a sailboat they used on Moss Lake as often as weather and time allowed.

It was noted that the family had lived in Big Spring for almost three year, the longest stay anywhere during their 15 years of marriage. During the families three years in in Big Spring, they had lived in three homes, only recently purchasing their present home at 2603 Lynn in the Kentwood addition.
