(Rose) Day of Ellsworth; 11 grandchildren, Tim (Amanda) Day, Mark (Jen) Day, Cristen (Darren) Brush, Amanda (Eric) Markle, James “Bo” (Brittny) Herrick, Maci Herrick (Vince Russo), Jessica Stephany, Tyler Stephany, Daniel Herrick, Dylan Herrick, and Bryce Grimm; 17 great-grandchildren, Nicholas, Amelia, Aubrielle, Adeline, Grace, Elliot, Anneliese, Mark, Luke, Adam, Kaiden, Olivia, Marissa, Tim, Mason, Cameron, and Khloe; four great-great-grandchildren; a sister-in-law, Carol Washington; a brother-in-law, Ronald Cole; and many nieces, nephews, and extended family members.

June will be truly and sadly missed by all who knew and loved her.

Her husband of 47 years, Manuel C. Day, whom she married Aug. 27, 1955, passed away Dec. 21, 2002.

Besides her husband, a daughter, Janice Stephany; a son, Timothy Day; a grandson, Nicholas T. Herrick; a sister, Ina Blazek; a brother, Martin Washington; and a son-in-law, Larry Stephany, Jr., also preceded June in death.

Family and friends may gather to pay respects from 5 to 7 p.m., Monday, June 14, at Kinnick Funeral Home, 222 S. State St., Girard. 

Funeral services will take place at 11 a.m. on Tuesday, June 15, at the funeral home.

To those unable to pay their respects in person, or are uncomfortable doing so, please keep June and her family in your thoughts and prayers.

Interment will follow the funeral home services and will be at Green Haven Memorial Gardens in Austintown, where June will be laid to rest next to her husband.

June’s favorite color was purple and she asked, prior to her death, that those who attend the visitation and funeral services to please wear something purple in her memory and to celebrate her life. Any tears should be “tears of joy” instead of sadness. June was ready to be with the Lord, her husband, and her family, and she hoped that her life brought some happiness and joy to those that knew her.
