Elizabeth grew up in Hilo Hawaii and was a descendant of the Lyman family, she married David W Day junior and had 4 children.
Elizabeth was the Grandmother to 7 grandchildren whose professions consist of Educators, social workers, doctors and nurses and was herself the first female nurse practitioner in the county of Kern.
With her profession as a nurse practitioner, Grandmother had an affinity for helping others in their time of need. She prided herself on her work.
In her personal life, she had a great talent for playing the church organ and the ukelele. She often made us laugh, made the greatest dinners and never asked for one ounce of help in the kitchen, she loved cooking for her family and had all the game systems to entertain herself and her grand children.
I knew her most as a great gardener, her pride and joy was a Night Blooming Cereus that she would wait up all night for to watch its bloom.
