Sonja L Day (Sissy), 88, of Williamsport, passed away peacefully on Thursday, November 5, at the Williamsport home.

Sissy was born in Williamsport, April 17, 1938. She was the daughter of the late Paul L. Ulrich and Luella M. (Berish) Ulrich. A graduate of South Williamsport high school, Sissy worked as a nurse’s aide, at GTE Sylvania and as a beautician.

Sissy devoted her life to her family as a loving homemaker, a role she embraced. She found great joy in creating a warm and welcoming home, which was centered on the family and friends she loved.

Sissy was a gifted cook and baker, whose kitchen was often filled with the comforting aromas of her favorite recipes. She especially enjoyed making sandtarts with family at Christmas time. And was known for the best coconut cream pie and raisin filled cookies.

Keeping up with the lives of her grandchildren and great grandchildren, gave her great pride and happiness. You could always find her on the sidelines, rooting them on when able.

Sissy, knew Jesus, as her personal Lord and Savior, and was a devoted member of the Wings of Love Church in South Williamsport.

Sissy is survived by her sons, Tim W. Day (Debbie), Michael P. Day (Fernando), and Dwayne R. Day (Lori); her daughter, Denise L. Day (Lori); a brother Paul Ulrich (Georgie); and sisters Sandra Luke and Tammy Anderson (Don).  She is also survived by six grandchildren and 10 great-grandchildren.

In addition to her parents, Sonja was preceded in death by her beloved husband, Donald R. “Duck” Day on April 6, 2005.

A celebration of Sissy’s life will be held at a later date.
