Services for Doreen Day will be held Saturday October 24th at 11:00 AM at Pine Island United Methodist Church. The Reverend Carolyn Westlake will officiate.

Doreen Phyllis Day was born November 27, 1932 in Mantorville, the daughter of Lloyd and Pearl (Ames) Day. Raised on a farm near Pine Island, she was a lifelong resident of the area. Doreen was a banker, a bookkeeper, and a bartender, and she eventually worked in bartending full time and was loved by her patrons. She enjoyed sharing her many opinions and was never reluctant to express them. She delighted in having a good time and always wanted those she was with to do the same. She was an avid Minnesota Vikings and Minnesota Twins fan. For many years she was the bartender at the Moose Lodge in Rochester and it was from there that she retired. Her longtime love was Aurel Timboiu, and prior to his own passing in 2012 he helped Doreen through the difficult health issues she was facing. Doreen is now joining Aurel in Heaven.
Doreen is survived by her sister Lois Bielenberg, and a brother Lowell (Marilyn) Day, both of Rochester; and her nieces nephews, which were like her own children.
She was preceded in death by her parents; a brother Dean Day; two nephews; and Aurel Timboiu.
