Daisy was married to Jay M. Danziger of LA, who was connected with Mexican Petrol Oil Co, Salt Lake, UT. Daisy was divorced from Jay and married the silent film star, Antonio Moreno 1/27/23.

Her ashes were turned over to family members.

She built what is known as “Crestmount" aka the "Danziger Mansion" aka the "Canfield-Moreno Mansion" atop the Silverlake district in Los Angeles, CA in 1922/1923 and moved into it in 1923 with her new husband, Antonio M. Moreno, who was a silent film star of that era. He went on to play in one hundred and forty-six films spanning years from 1912 thru 1958. The home is on four + acres and has 15,000 + square feet complete with its own ballroom. In 1929 they gave the home to the trust that operates the home as a girls school for training purposes (much in the manner of Charles Canfield's McKinley Industrial Home For Boys that he founded along with M.H. Whittier in 1900). In 1953 the home was deeded to the Catholic Church (Franciscan Sisters Of The Immaculate Conception Order) who used it as a convent and school until the 1987 Whittier earthquake damaged it which resulted in its abandonment, where it stands today, 1994. Daisy C. Canfield Danziger Moreno was killed instantly in an automobile accident when her car went over the cliff up on Mulholland Drive, Los Angeles, CA while she was returning home from a party in Hollywood. She was cremated.

The three children of Jay M. Danziger and Daisy C. Canfield Danziger were raised by Daisy C. Canfield Moreno and Antonio M. Moreno (her second husband) but they were never adopted by Moreno due to the objectives of their birth-father "Jake" Danziger even though the three children changed their surnames from Danziger to Moreno

Crestmont is a L.A. historical site. It is owned by Dana Hollister, and is now named “The Paramour”. Some public events are held there.
