Mildred "Milli" Esther H. Day

Mildred Esther Hildegard Johnson Day was born in Evanston, Illinois on 
September 17, 1926 to Swedish immigrants Sven Warner Johnson and Hildur 
Eleanora Ohlson. She graduated from Evanston Township High School, and married 
her high school sweetheart and love of her life, Arthur Day. She followed him 
to California where he was stationed during WWII. 

Together they returned to California to raise their family in 1952 and 
remained in Bakersfield from that time until their deaths. Art and Milli 
raised their three children in Bakersfield, and all graduated from College 
with honors.

Milli reentered the workforce in 1963 and was a stenographer-clerk with the 
Kern County Veterans Administration until her retirement. Besides her family, 
work and church, hobbies were a major part of her and Arts lives.

She was an accomplished dog obedience trainer and exhibitor. She was a many 
time president of the Bakersfield Obedience Training Club. She and Art were 
very active in dog shows, and held various positions in the Kern County Kennel 
Club, and exhibited in dog shows across the west. She was also active in the 
Bakersfield African Violet Society, the Bakersfield Womens Press Club, and 
raised and showed cockatiels and showed parakeets.

She was preceded in death by her parents, her husband, Arthur Day; son, 
Randall Arthur Day; and sister, Svea Pestka. She is survived by her daughter
