Hamilton Journal-News (OH), Monday, October 7, 2002 - Pg B2 - Daisy
Brookes Lakes

On October 5, 2002, our hearts were filled with sorrow as Daisy Brookes
Lakes went home to be with her Lord. Daisy was a loving woman whose
heart was filled with compassion for others. She was faithful in sending
hundreds of cards to shut-ins, the sick, and to her many friends on
special occasions. She had a smile and a warm hug for all those who
crossed her path in life. She has been a faithful prayer warrior her
entire life.  Daisy's life was focused on the needs of others. She
married Charles (Whitey) Lakes on April 22, 1946. They shared 56
precious years. Daisy was an active and dedicated member of Immanuel
Baptist Church.

She is survived by her loving and devoted husband, Charles Lakes;
daughters, Judy (Bill) Reichle and Ruth Ann Horn; son, Carl (Shelley)
Lakes; grandchildren, Jon and David Reichle, Natalie and Ashley Lakes;
brothers, Abel (Kathleen) Cunagin, Curt (Lillie) Cunagin, Ray (Jewel)
Cunagin, Lloyd (Eva) Cunagin, Ronald (Janice) Cunagin, Gary (Margie)
Cunagin, Paul (Kathy) Cunagin; sister, Dean McQueen; loving sister-in-law,
Ruth Ponder; caring brother-in-law, Carl Lakes; many nieces; nephews;
cousins and friends. She was preceded in death by her parents, Delbert
and Emma Cunagin.

The family would like to extend special thanks to the nurses and staff
of the Hospice Care, especially Laura Alexoff and Robin. Their care and
concern were an appreciative comfort to the entire family.

We will forever remember Daisy's warm heart and joyful personality. Thank
you, Daisy, for being part of our lives for these 77 years.
