Daisy Bell Sarchet (Shelley)

Daisy Bell Sarchet, of Cleburne passed away Friday, June 4, 2021, in Cleburne. She was born January 31, 1931, in Haskell, Texas, to Verna (Jetton) and Aubrey Waco Shelley. She married her sweetheart, Robert Lee Sarchet on August 19, 1950, in Clovis, New Mexico. Daisy was of the Baptist faith. She is preceded in death by her parents; son, Waco Sarchet; and a brother, Charlie Waco Shelley.

Daisy was a creative and gifted individual. Never one to sit still, she always needed “something to do with her hands” which usually meant a craft. Her crafting included knitting, crocheting, sewing, pottery, and quilting. She also loved to read, work puzzles and watch sports. Tenacious to her core Daisy overcame a childhood bout with Polio and successfully conquered the task of corralling four wonderful boys. As they grew, she enjoyed supporting their numerous activities in any way she could: from driving classmates back and forth from events to cheering them on from the stands. After managing those boys, she still had the energy to excel at several careers. She worked alongside Robert at the Cleburne Airport, worked with Barry at the pharmacy, and sold fabrics at “A World of Fabrics”.

Survivors include sons, Fred Sarchet and wife, Susie, Barry Sarchet and wife, Sarah; and Kelly Sarchet; all of Cleburne; grandchildren Alison Sarchet; Heather Carmack and husband, Clay; Krystal Fagan and husband, Chad; Robert Sarchet II and wife, Shandy; Raychelle Geggatt and husband, Jonathan; Chris Sarchet; and Lindsay Sarchet; sister Patsy Stephens and husband Lonnie; numerous great and great-great grandchildren; and a host of other relatives and friends.
