Doris Daskam, age 97, of Harmony, MN passed away Tuesday, Sept 4, 2018 at the Gundersen Harmony Care Center in Harmony.

Doris was born December 24, 1920 in rural Bluffton, Iowa to John and Ruth (Sjobakken) Greenslade. She married Gerald Daskam on June 1, 1941 on her parent’s farm near Cresco, Iowa. She and Gerald farmed all of their married life together. Doris loved working beside her husband, driving hayfork and raking hay, she had a flair for raising chickens and together they grew apple trees from which she made apple pies and sauce. They enjoyed square dancing and playing cards.

Doris was a long time member of the State Line Methodist Church; when it closed she joined the United Methodist Church in Harmony. Doris always found time to create crocheted dolls and afghans; each grandchild has received an afghan she made.

Recently she enjoyed her six years at Heritage Grove; now the Clara House.
