Marion Anna Rose (Cousino) Day, age 96, of Oregon, Ohio fulfilled her Earthly duties to return to our Lord on Sunday, August 11, 2024.

Born to Burton and Beatrice (Bodi) Cousino on February 19, 1928, in Bono, Ohio, she was an inspiration to all, with her calm and caring nature. She was a loving daughter, sister, wife, mother and grandmother to so many of us. It is said that her father was so excited about the birth of his second child and first daughter, that at 5:00 AM, he took a lantern and headed across the fields to give his parents the good news. Coming back at daylight, his lantern was still lit, which he was teased about for a long time!

Marion attended Clay High School and Mary Manse College, majoring in Elementary Education. Her early jobs were at Grants and American Flooring in Toledo.

She and Carl married in 1952 and raised five children. Marion and her family also lived in Kentucky and Texas before returning to her home state of Ohio, where she and Carl’s final home was in Walbridge, Ohio. Marion retired from St. Charles hospital after many years there. She enjoyed being active with family and friends and had many stories of her time spent at the Senior Center in Walbridge. Marion has been blessed with the special loving care of her youngest daughter Charlene, who devoted so much of herself in these last years.

Marion is survived by her son Michael Day of Texas, daughters Pat (Dennis) Hagan of Kentucky, Teresa (Glen) Bloom of Marysville, and Charlene Spaulding of Michigan. Also 13 grandchildren, 31 great grandchildren, and 4 great-great grandchildren. Brothers Burton, Larry (Teresa), and sister Sharon (Joe) Filipovich, all of Ohio. And many dear nieces and nephews.

She is preceded in death by her husband Carl Day, son Steven, Brothers Robert, Reynold, Kenny and Jerry, sisters Joyce Peters, Donna Jean Spewiek and Judy Eaton and son-in-law Matt Spaulding.

Friends will be received at Witzler Shank Walker Funeral Home, 701 N. Main St, Walbridge, Ohio on Sunday, August 18, 2024 from 4:00 PM-7:00 PM. Prayers will be recited at the funeral home on Monday, August 19, 2024 at 10:00 AM. A funeral mass will be held at St. Jerome Catholic Church, 300 Warner St, Walbridge, Ohio at 11:00 AM with burial to follow in Lake Township Cemetery. Memorial donations in Marion’s name may be made to Hospice of Northwest Ohio or to the Alzheimer’s Association.

We will miss your presence, our beloved mother, sister, aunt and friend. But the beautiful memories and unselfish love you gave us will sustain in our hearts always and never forgotten. Because you were a faithful servant of God, his arms will hold you now.
