- Daisy Gertrude Fisher was born on 7 November 1887 to William Edgar Fisher, an accountant and Emma Louisa Fisher (nee Beasley) daughter of Benjamin Beasley who ran a school for stammerers at Brampton Park, Huntingdon.
She joined the theatre as a chorus girl after her childhood home burned down. Fisher eventually met a stage actor, Herbert Mason and they were married on 23rd June 1914. Sadly this was just before the First World War broke out. Her brother, Leslie was killed in action on 14 August 1915. Nevertheless, her husband survived and they both continued their careers.
In the 1920s and 30s, she wrote several books, lyrics for some of Eric Coates' compositions and was also a playwright. She acted in several plays including The Punch Bowl in 1924 - 25. Fisher wrote the story for the 1935 musical comedy film, Things Are Looking Up with Albert de Courville, Stafford Dickens and Con West. Her husband worked on the film as associate producer.
After the Second World War, she and Herbert Mason wrote several plays together - Lend Me Robin in 1948 and Dangerous Woman in 1951.
They were married for nearly 46 years. She survived him with their daughter and son and two grandsons. Her granddaughter was born a few years later.
Daisy Gertrude Mason (nee Fisher) died on 2nd April 1969 in London, aged 81.
Even nearly 55 years after her death, she remains fondly remembered by her daughter-in-law and grandchildren and admired by her great-grandchildren. She is described by her daughter-in-law as affectionate and a strong personality. She is described by her grandchildren as loving and always smiling.
- Daisy Gertrude Fisher continued to use her maiden name in her theatrical and playwright work even after her marriage to Samuel George Herbert Mason.
