Velma Cleo (Webb) Day Obituary (1938 - 2024)

A long-awaited family reunion took place the night of August 22, 2024 when Velma Cleo Day passed from this life to the next at the age of 86. She passed away peacefully with family by her side. She was born prematurely at home on March 7, 1938 to Albert E. Webb and Velma Satterthwaite. Her mother passed away shortly following her birth. Born at only two and 1/2 pounds, she slept in a shoe box that was placed in a drawer without the help of additional oxygen or medical care to keep her alive. She was determined to live from the very first day of her life up until her last breath. Cleo was raised in Laketown, UT by her grandparents and moved to Ogden, UT at the age of 16. She graduated from Weber High School in 1957and then attended Stevens Henager College of Business where she met her husband, Stanley Martin Day. They were married on August 1, 1958 and later sealed in the Salt Lake LDS temple on August 22, 1969. They spent their entire 44 years of marriage doing everything together. They loved to go on day trips and spent many hours researching their family history up until Stan's passing in 2003. Cleo dedicated many years of her life in the service of others and was a friend to everyone she met. She found beauty in everything she did and kept a positive attitude through the loss of many of her loved ones and in spite of the many health issues she endured. Cleo was preceded in death by her husband; brother, Elwyn Webb; her parents; grandparents and many aunts, uncles and cousins who Cleo stayed close with during her lifetime. She is survived by her brothers, Eugene (Louise) Webb; Allan (Susan) Webb; Gale Webb; her sister, Linda Meyerhoffer and her nieces and nephews. The family would like to thank the many friends and adopted family Cleo met while being cared for by the ward members of the Meadow Brook LDS ward in Ogden, Weber County Human Services, Visiting Angels, and especially the great staff and many friends she made at the George E Wahlen Ogden Veteran's Home where she resided for the last four years of her life. They would also like to thank the staff at Ogden Regional Hospital and Enhabit Hospice who ensured she was comfortable and taken care of in her final hours. Graveside services will be held to honor Cleo on Wednesday, August 28, 2024 at 11:00 am at the Brigham City Cemetery. Arrangements entrusted to Myers Mortuary, 845 Washington Blvd., Ogden, Utah.
