Dorothy Jeanne Day

Las Vegas resident (formerly of Pahrump, NV and Mobile, AL) Dorothy ‘Dot’ Jeanne Day, passed away peacefully on February 12th 2017. Dot was an inspiration to her daughters as well as those who knew her. She was a talented artist, avid reader, active in her community, a loving and devoted wife and mom, and a kind and caring friend. Dorothy Jeanne was born on October 20th 1930 to David and Marguerite Fluker of Mobile, Alabama. In 1957, she married her long-time friend and the love of her life, Dennis Day. Their journey brought them to Nevada in 1959 where they built their life. Dorothy was preceded in death by her beloved husband, her parents as well as her siblings; Mary Virginia Gunn, Warren Franklin Fluker, and David Ross (Mary Jeane) Fluker, and lifelong friend and sister-in-laws, Jean Day (Robert) Goodwin and Mary Jeane Fluker. She leaves behind her daughters Stacey (Jon) Oien, and Katie (Scott) Yardley, her granddaughter Amanda Yardley (Chris Lozano) and her great grand daughter, Trinity Grace. Dorothy will be laid to rest with Dennis for eternity at the Southern Nevada Veterans Memorial Cemetery in Boulder City, Nevada. In lieu of flowers, she requested a private service, but encourages all who would like to celebrate her life by making contributions to their favorite charity. Dorothy’s favorites included any organization that encourages better lives for children (such as the Kevin Armstrong MD Memorial Sports Foundation), any organization devoted to curing Alziheimers, Cancer, Diabetes, Heart Disease, no kill animals shelters and organizations who encourage the humane treatment of animals, organizations who support our veterans and active duty service members and their families as well as Catholic Charities. Dot believed a life well lived included using her voice to positively impact the lives of those who could not speak for themselves.
