Daisy A. Palmer Thomas, 89, Middletown, died Tuesday February 3, 2015 at Frederick Memorial Hospital surrounded by her family. She was the beloved wife of Clarence K. Thomas for 55 years.
Born in Chestnut Grove, Washington Co., MD on September 8, 1925 she was the daughter of the late Clarence and Pearl Metz Holmes.

She was a member of Zion Lutheran Church, Middletown. She was a homemaker and enjoyed cooking, baking, canning and sewing. She was a wonderful quilter and quilted with the Zion quilters for many years. Her handiwork, most of which she gave away, became prized possessions to the people in her life that she loved.
