| Today, we regretfully inform every one of the loss of a very special member of our fire department family and extended fire service community, Honorary Firefighter Patricia “Pat” Day (MVFD 149).
Pat served Monelison Volunteer Fire Department from 1986-2004 along side her beloved husband Lee Day. Pat earned her place among many through her unwavering support, friendship, compassion, and genuine love for the men and women who serve there community. Being recognized as an Honorary Firefighter was a reflection of the unwavering love and passion to serve others.
She was much more than an honorary member. She became a friend, a trusted supporter, and someone who cared deeply about firefighters and their families. Her presence brought encouragement, kindness, and warmth to our department, and she had a way of making those around her feel valued and appreciated.
One of her greatest gifts was her ability to connect with people. She had a special way of encouraging and loving everyone, creating friendships and memories that will last a lifetime. Her influence reached beyond the fire station and into the lives of many who had the privilege of knowing her.
We extend our deepest condolences to Chief Lee Day, her family and loved ones. Please know that she was deeply loved, respected, and appreciated by our department and the citizens of Amherst County. Her impact on the many lives will not be forgotten, and her memory will forever remain a part of our fire department and Amherst County.
Gone from our sight, but forever in our hearts ❤️🇺🇸 |
