Edna Marie (Shorty) Clark Day
 |
Edna Marie "Shorty" Day, born on November 5, 1930, passed away on May 17, 2024. At her request no services were held, and she was interred beside Leroy.
Shorty left a remarkable legacy behind as she dedicated many years of her life to the nursing field and completed her schooling and obtained her BSN degree in 1985 when she graduated from SWOSU in Weatherford, Oklahoma. To this day, many nurses still remember working with her either at Ft. Supply Psychiatric Hospital, Mooreland Heritage Manor, Grace Living Center and at Woodward Hospital on the generations unit.
Shorty's heart overflowed with love for others, finding true joy in the happiness of those around her. Her kindness and open heartedness were evident to all who crossed her path. She had a special passion for knitting and crocheting with many hours creating caps and booties for newborn babies, afghans for nursing homes, her children, and grandchildren. Each one spread warmth and love to all that may have received these precious gifts. One would always find her with a couple of different projects that she would be working on while she would watch Dallas Cowboy football, OU football or her favorite OKC Thunder.
On March 18, 1955 Shorty married the love of her life, Leroy Day. They made their first home north of Woodward on the Selman ranch. She followed Leroy in his journey where they lived in multiple places in Kansas and Oklahoma where she would continue to work and go to college at Wichita School of Nursing, then NWOSU in Alva and finally graduating from SWOSU in Weatherford. They finally came back to Woodward and made their final home north of Woodward in the Quail Ridge area. They enjoyed playing cards and they were a tough team to beat at the pitch table, they enjoyed watching football together, and she finally started to enjoy traveling across many states to watch Leroy team rope.
To this union three sons were added Alan Lee, Steven Mark, and Jeffrey Lynn.
Shorty is survived by her sons, Lee Day and wife Debbie of Hazelton, Pennsylvania; Jeff Day and wife Shannon of Woodward; her grandsons; Steven Day and wife Ann of Puyallup, Washington; Jeff Day of Tuttle; one granddaughter, Brittany Rash and husband Marty of Shattuck; her 6 great-grandchildren; brothers, Carl Clark of Buffalo; Dick Clark and wife Kay of Leoti, Kansas; one sister, Mary Louise Riggins of Hays, Kansas.
She was preceded in death by parents Ray and Irene Clark, spouse Leroy Day, one son Mark Day, brother Zim Clark, brother-in-law Ronnie Riggins, sister-in-law Lois Clark.
