“Behold, I freely give the living water; thirsty one, stoop down, and drink, and live!” I came to Jesus, and I drank of that life-giving stream; my thirst was quenched, my soul revived, and now I live in Him.

Daisy Lee Bridges Carpenter, who devoted her life to caring for her family and giving unselfishly to others, heard the sweet sound of the trumpet on March 2, 2023, and departed this earthly realm at South Georgia Medical Center. Daisy was born on April 29, 1948, in Lowndes County, Georgia, to the late Willie C. Bridges Sr. and Daisy Williams Bridges. Before moving to Miami, Florida at the age of 18, she spent most of her youth in Valdosta, Georgia. She attended Pinevale High School, where she was also a member of the marching band. Having dedicated her life to God at an carly age, she joined and was baptized at St. Mark Baptist Church in 1953. After her husband's death in 2007, she returned to Valdosta, Georgia, and joined Thessalonian Baptist Church until her health became fragile. Daisy found great joy in her career in childcare; decorating, gardening, and collecting dolls and figurines. Thank you to the doctors, home health staff, and medical personnel for their care and making her comfortable in her final days. A special thank you to Julie Bembry and her husband for providing in-home care and assistance to Daisy, which contributed immensely to her comfort.
