Born Jan. 20, 1930, in Livermore, the daughter of Isaac Henry and Ida Mae Boyken Girvin. She was a homemaker that enjoyed needlepoint and began her career after her children were grown. She was a member of Greenville United Methodist Church. She was a loving and caring wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, and friend–a true matriarch of her family.

Survivors include her daughter, Tammy (Joey) Day; grandchildren, Leslie Day and Josh Baker; great-grandchildren, Kristina and Bentley Baker with her third great-grandchild due April 2022.
She chose to be cremated alongside her husband and son. Graveside services will be held Tuesday, Dec. 28 at 2:00 p.m. at Oak Hill Cemetery in Livermore, officiated by Michael Simpson. Burton Mortuary Service in Earlington provided service to the family.
