Anise McDaniel Brock
1923-2006

Alpha Xi Chapter, Mississippi (Zeta)

The Delta Kappa Gamma Society International honors Anise McDaniel Brock as a symbol of all our members who have contributed to the success of the Society.

Anise McDaniel Brock graduated from Mississippi College in 1943 and taught music and primary grades for 42 years in the Moss Point, Mississippi, schools. The oldest of six children, she was valedictorian of her senior class in 1940. She was initiated into Alpha Xi chapter in 1979 when this new chapter was organized in Moss Point. Anise was an active member serving on various committees at both the chapter and state level. She was chapter president 1980-1982. She always shared her musical talent with her chapter and with Zeta state.

In 1974 Jane McDaniel Wade, her sister, was initiated into Zeta chapter in Biloxi, Mississippi. In 1978 Jane became a charter member of Alpha Lambda chapter in Ocean Springs, Mississippi. Jane is an active member today having served as chapter president, treasurer, secretary and on several state committees. Another sister, Annette McDaniel Robertson Smith, became a member in the 1980's in Anaheim, California, transferred her membership to Lambda chapter in Louisiana and then to Alpha Mu chapter in Mississippi. Annette is no longer a member.

All three sisters were very musical and provided music for chapter and state meetings, especially music for the Hour of Remembrance at state conventions. Anise often provided piano or organ accompaniment for Annette who played the violin. Anise served as the organist for First Baptist Church of Moss Point for more than 50 years.

These three sisters have nearly 80 years of combined membership in the Society. They represent the many members who are active in their chapters, hold offices, attend state meetings and share their talents. They were invited to membership because they evidenced distinctive service in the field of education. Their visions and actions have advanced the Society. We salute them today as we honor Anise!
