Rev. Daisy Scott was born on April 4, 1942 in Williamsburg County, Kingstree, South Carolina to the late Rev. Eugene Segres Sr. and Virginia McClary Segres. She was the second child and the first girl of twelve children. On Friday morning, August 17, 2018, Daisy peacefully entered into eternal rest at McLeod Regional Medical Center Florence, SC.

Daisy accepted Jesus Christ as her personal Lord and Savior at the tender age of 14. She was a faithful Christian woman who devoted herself to sharing Christ's love with others. She was a member of the Mt. Zion Apostolic Faith Church in the Holy Woods and in Florence, SC where she was active in many areas of church life.

She attended Williamsburg County public schools throughout her life. She graduated from Tomlinson High School in 1960. After graduation she worked at Dr. Cooper's dentist office as a dental assistant and secretary.

On December 26, 1962 she was joined in holy matrimony to Joshua Scott Sr. She was a loving mother to one son, three daughters, and two nephews. She was also a dedicated foster mother who provided a loving home to several community children.

In 1964 Warsaw Sewing manufacturer decided to hire African American women. Daisy took the test for the job and made the second highest score among all of the test takers. She was one of the first African American women to work at Warsaw Sewing. She was also one of the fastest sewers.

When she became a working mother she began to feel pressured to find a suitable place to leave her children while she worked. She thought about other working mothers who also needed a place to leave their children during the day while they work. While thinking the idea came to her to open a daycare center. She contacted the Department of Social Services and the Health Department. They were instrumental in helping her open the doors to Kindale Park Day Care Center on February 1, 1971. During the 43 years the daycare center was opened many children were loved and taught by Daisy and her staff. She was proud of her Kindale Park Day Care alumni who became doctors and nurses, authors and teachers, athletes and business owners, attorneys and bankers and the many others who made astonishing achievements.

Later in life she attended cosmetology school and earned a master barber license to help in her daughter's barber shop.

Daisy was kind-hearted and devoted to her family. She was most proud of her children and her grandchildren. She often cooked them her special macaroni and cheese dish. Her cheerful and friendly spirit made her loved by everyone who knew her.
