Lynne Day Obituary

Day (Bickford), Lynne Elizabeth

Lynne Elizabeth (Bickford) Day, 82, passed away on February 3, 2025, in Clinton, Tennessee.

Born on January 22, 1943, in Medford, Massachusetts, Lynne was the daughter of Jackson Rockwell Bickford and Wirna Katarina Renfors. She graduated from Springfield High School in 1961 and later built a successful career as an administrative assistant at Wittenberg University.

Lynne was a devoted mother, daughter, sister, grandmother, great-grandmother and friend. She was selfless in nature, always putting the needs of others before her own. Her kindness and generosity touched the lives of many, and she will be deeply missed by all who knew her.

She found joy in crocheting and gardening, hobbies that reflected her patience and creativity. Whether crafting something special for a loved one or tending to her gardens with care, Lynne's warmth shone through in everything she did.

Lynne was preceded in death by her beloved husband, Nelson Richard "Toby" Day; her son, Jackson Christopher Day; her parents; and her sisters, Marjorie Ann Wyatt and Sally Virginia Winter.

She is survived by her children: Julie Anne Noble (William); Thomas Richard Day (Salena Jo); and Jeffrey Glenn Day (Erin). She also leaves behind her cherished grandchildren: Emily Taylor McLean (Spencer), Evan Tyler Day (Cati), Sydney Lynne Day, and Nelson Richard "Toby" Day; as well as great-grandchildren Rowan, Madelyn Jo and Jameson. Additionally, she is survived by her brother Peter Merritt Benson.

Lynne's memory will live on in the hearts of those who loved her. May she rest in peace.
