Shirley Ann Day, 71, passed away on Saturday, March 21, 2026.

With heavy hearts, we announce the passing of Shirley Day, a beloved wife, mother, grandmother, and friend.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Charlie and Beatrice; sisters, Novella and Kathy, and son, Johnny Johnson.

Shirley is survived by her loving husband, Harmond Day; her children, James Johnson and Tammy Reed; her cherished grandson, Brandon Johnson; along with her other loving grandchildren.

Shirley will be remembered for her strength, her caring heart, and the love she had for her family. She had a way of making those around her feel welcome and cared for, and she leaves behind memories that will be held onto for a lifetime. Her presence brought comfort, and her legacy lives on through the family she loved so deeply.

She will be deeply missed and forever loved.

A private family service will be held to honor her life to be announced later.
