In Celebration of

Dorothy Lorraine Day (nee Billinghurst)

June 22, 1925 - August 20, 2019

Peacefully at Credit Valley Hospital, Mississauga, on Tuesday, August 20, 2019 at the age of 94. Beloved wife of the late Stanley William Day. Loving mother of Linda Newsome (Peter), Donna Beaton (Bill), and Ron (Gail). Cherished Grandma of David (Michelle), Sarah (Andrew), Michael (Sarah), Mark, Matthew (Jen), Trudy (Anthony), Scott and Meaghan (Jason). Adored Great-grandma of Adelyn, Jack, Sophie, Avery, Elizabeth, Jack, and Nolan.

Affectionately known as Mrs. Murphy, Mom was always happiest when surrounded by her loving family and in her kitchen baking cookies for anyone who dropped by for tea. Mom’s butter tarts were second to none. Mom dedicated her whole life to caring for her children and grand-children.

Many thanks to the Nursing and PSW staff at Parkland on the Glen for the kindness and support shown to Mom in the past two years.

Friends may call at the Turner & Porter "Neweduk- Erin Mills" Chapel, 1981 Dundas St. W., Mississauga (just east of Erin Mills Parkway) on Saturday, September 7, 2019 from 10 a.m. until the time of the Funeral Service in the Chapel at 11 a.m.

If desired, donations to the Alzheimer Society would be appreciated.

To The Day Family

Dear Linda, Donna & Ron,

Please accept my family’s sincerest condolences on the passing of your Mother.

Aunt Dorothy was always special to me. Growing up in the family home we all shared for 15 years, to me was like having 2 Moms to watch over us all.

I remember many a kind conversation with Dorothy in your upstairs kitchen, and once we all went our separate ways, I always looked forward to family gatherings to be greeted by her big welcoming Billinghurst smile that she shared with her sisters. During our first visit with her at the hospital, Leslie and I were fortunate to enjoy her cheerful witty personality and that special smile, in spite of the numbing effect of her pain medication.

If one believes in the after-life, it’s reassuring to know that Aunt Dorothy is no longer suffering but has entered the hereafter to join our Grandparents, my parents, Uncle Bill, Uncle Garey, and most importantly, your Dad, Uncle Stan, to once again happily watch over us all.

With Deepest Sympathies,

Rick, Leslie & Will Billinghurst
