Daisy Bonner cooked President Franklin D. Roosevelt's first and last meals at the Little White House in Warm Springs. For years, she served with quiet dedication during some of America's most challenging times. When FDR died on April 12, 1945, she memorialized her service by writing on the kitchen wall: "Daisy Bonner cook the first meal and the last for the President Roosevelt in this cottage."
Today, Daisy and her husband Jack rest in an unmarked grave on Leverett Hill Road in Warm Springs. We're raising funds to restore their gravesite with proper markers, an interpretive sign, and a permanent border—giving them the dignified memorial they deserve.
Every donation helps preserve Georgia's history and honors those who served behind the scenes.
