Daisy Velma (Jeffery) Frostad went to be with her Lord on December 13, 2019 (her 93rd birthday) at West Park Crossing Retirement Community in Moose Jaw, SK.

She married her beloved husband of 67 years, Gerald Clayton Frostad, on June 26, 1952. They made their home in Kincaid, SK where they raised their eight children. In 2007 Gerald and Daisy moved and spent their retirement years in Caronport, SK. Daisy was predeceased by her parents William and Susanna (Glover) Jeffery, her siblings and in-laws Bill (Alma) Jeffery, Orville (Clara) Jeffery, Jim (Evelyn) Jeffery, Nelson Jeffery and Doreen (Wilf) Rempel, as well as her great granddaughter Becca Frostad.

Daisy will be remembered for her strong faith and steadfast trust in her Lord. This defined who she was and what was important to her. Gerald and Daisy faithfully attended the Woodrow Gospel Chapel and later enjoyed the fellowship at Caronport Community Church. They served together as Gideons for 50 years.

The family extends their heartfelt thanks to Dr. Bell and the caregivers at West Park Crossing who cared for Mom in her final weeks.
