Pastor Daisy Henry, a former Bunnell city commissioner and a longtime community advocate, died on May 3.

“She was just like the matriarch in this area,” said G.W. Carver Foundation President Taahira Lee. “She was a voice overall for the community, highly respected. She always advocated for what was right and for change for the better of the community.”

Henry, 77, was born and raised in Bunnell and attended the segregated George Washington Carver School. She was the founder of Sprit to Truth Outreach Ministries and one of the founders of the Alliance Of Involved Ministers. Through AIM, she ran a summer camp at the G.W. Carver Community Center.
