Ellsworth, IA -- Daisy Faye Cormaney Hill, 89, of Ellsworth, Iowa, passed away August 15, 2010, at Israel Family Hospice House in Ames, Iowa. Daisy was born on June 9, 1921, to Earl Lincoln and Anna Marie (Schultz) Cormaney on their Woolstock, Iowa farm. Daisy graduated from Webster City High School in 1939 and from Waldorf College in 1941. After teaching elementary school, in 1943, Daisy married Hubert Hill of Ellsworth, Iowa. Throughout her life, Daisy was a devoted mother, grandmother, and farm wife. She loved planting trees and gardening, sewing, reading, and music. Her hobbies in retirement included her family, watching baseball games, spending winters in Florida, and traveling to other parts of the world. Daisy was a member of Trinity Lutheran Church in Ellsworth, serving as a Luther League adviser and Bible study leader, and also was a member of the Ellsworth Study Club. Daisy was spiritual glue. She was rock solid in her commitment and beliefs, her daily devotions attesting to her great faith. When asked how she hoped to be remembered, she said, "for faithfulness, perseverance and love."

Daisy is survived by her three children, Paul (Mary) Hill of Ellsworth, Faye (Noel) Hill Thompson of Ellsworth, Ann (Douglas) Hill Duin of Hastings, Minnesota; six grandchildren, Peter, Nathan, Rachel, Melia, Erica, and Seth; eight great-grandchildren; and numerous nieces, nephews, and cousins.
