Gay S. Day joined her husband Robert Edward and dear grandson Adam Day in a glorious homecoming and an eternal celebration with her Lord Jesus Christ. Gay was born on 29 April 1922 to Gaylord and Nell Stidham and lived a full life of 99 years. She was preceded in death by her husband Eddie, mother, father, sister and many other friends and relatives. Left to cherish her memory is her son Peter Day (Kathleen), daughter Victoria Magee, sister Carol Large, grandchildren, Amy Day Lord (Rob), Patrick Magee (Tricia), Kevin Magee (Leslie) and great grandchildren Coralyn Powell, Anne Louise and Spencer Magee, Harper and Hayden Magee as well as numerous nieces and nephews. Her career included jobs as a telephone operator, office manager, receptionist and caregiver, all while building her family home and raising two loving and grateful children. Ever supportive of her children’s schooling, Gay was so proud of her accomplishment of initiating the first eye exams performed in the local public schools.
Gay was known by her faith in God and possessed the faith she professed. She was a long time member of Lynnhaven United Methodist Church where a memorial service will be held on 17 November 2021 at 12:30pm. A private family graveside service will be held at an earlier date. In lieu of flowers please feel free to make contributions to the Robert E. Day scholarship at Va. Wesleyn University or Lynnhaven United Methodist Church. Please offer your condolences to the family at www.kellumfuneralhome.com.
