in the beautiful blooms that filled her home.
A member of the Cathedral of St. Raymond
Nonatus and former member of the American

remembered as a kind and gentle woman with a
generous spirit and sunny disposition.

Charles H. Scarboro; her parents; two brothers
Charles (late Blanche) and Clewis (late Alena)
Gerhardt and her sister Alma (late Leonard)

leaves to cherish her memory two daughters,
Mary H. Scarboro of Joliet and M. Kathleen
Scarboro of Joliet and Paris, France. One
grandson Jerome Kugel of Paris, France. Two
brothers, Bill (Dorothy) and Bob (Ann)

also survive. The family of Daisy Scarboro
would like to extend their sincere gratitude
to Provena St. Joseph Medical Center, Provena
Villa Franciscan, Autumn Day Care and
Community Care for the compassion and comfort;
with special thanks to their mothers' care
givers, Mary, Deb, Alice, Yvonne and Ron for
the loving attention and TLC that was
