Daisy Louise Clark, 80, peacefully passed away on May 6, 2025, after an extended illness. Born and raised in Charleston, WV, apart from 5 years in Buffalo, New York, she was a lifelong resident of the Mountain State. A proud graduate of Charleston High School, she earned her Bachelor’s from West Virginia State College, then later in life earned her Master’s in Social Work from West Virginia University. She worked for almost three decades for WVDHHR and retired as the Director of the Boone County DHHR office in Danville, WV in 2000. Daisy was also a member of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Incorporated.
From an early age, she had a passion for playing the piano. She would later use her gift in ministry as the Director of the Youth Choir at Metropolitan Baptist Church, and then as Minister of Music at Ferguson Memorial Baptist Church for 30 years.
After retiring from the music ministry, she became a licensed Minister at Metropolitan in 2009. She would later become a member of Kingdom Life Fellowship Church, where she remained until her health declined and she could no longer attend in person. She was a faithful online member until her passing.
Daisy was preceded in death by her parents, Dr. Robert L. Bradford, and Rosa B. Bradford; brother Rev. Robert L. “Bobby” Bradford, Jr.; nephew Francis David; and grandson Val Clark.
Daisy is survived by sons, Gerald (Deitrich), and Brian (Amber); brother Harold (Noi) Bradford; sister Carla Hughes. Grandchildren: Paige, Brittney, Corey (Dania), Amahn, Solomon, and Samuel. Great grandchildren: Riley, and Avery.
The family would like to express thanks to Dr. Marcus Jarrell, and the Charleston Healthcare Center nurses and staff who cared for Daisy during her stay. Your kindness and support given will never be forgotten.
