cancer, at her home, surrounded by her loved
ones.
Daisy was born to George John Coster and Hattie

Her early years were spent in Sheridan and in
the Seattle area.

School and Bonners Ferry High School.
At the age of 16, she met the love of her life,
Donald Loren Huggins. They married on January 6,
1951, in Coeur d’Alene. They made their home in
Bonners Ferry, where they had two sons, L.D.
Kieth and Terry Michael.
Daisy spent her time working at various jobs in
Boundary County, from waitress, sales clerk,
working with special needs children,
volunteering in the community for various public
service positions. She enjoyed spending time
with her family, especially her grandchildren,
and extended adopted grandchildren.
Daisy was a talented artist, enjoyed painting,
pottery, baking, cooking, crocheting, knitting,
sewing, photography, camping (with BIG

was always open to those in need. Loren and

many years.

Mom said prior to her passing, that her story

many God winks for all of us. And will be
watching over each one of us. |
