It is with heavy hearts the family of Letitia Helen Day announces her passing on Saturday, August 6, 2016, at the age of 100 years at Battleford District Care Centre. Letty married James Day in July, 1942 in England where James was stationed during World War II. This was where their first son Martin was born. They came to Canada in 1946 and settled in Assiniboia, where Robert and Frank were born. They moved to Battleford in 1953 where Letty remained until her death. Letty was well known for her knitting and craft work, volunteer work and church participation. She loved reading books and playing cards, as well as socializing with friends and family. She had a wonderful sense of humor and loved to tell stories. She will be greatly missed by all those whose life she touched. Letty is survived by her sons Martin (Sue) and family; Robert (Magda) and family; Frank (Audrey) and family; sister Lil and family; and sister-in-law Florrie and family. A come and go tea was held in Letty’s memory on Wednesday, August 10th at 2:00 pm at the St. George’s Anglican Church parish hall. A graveside service was held at the Battleford Cemetery at 1:00 pm.
