      Dorothy M. Day, 87, of Elk Towers in St. Marys and formerly of Ridgway, died and entered into eternity on Wednesday, June 27, 2018, surrounded by her loving family following a brief illness.

      She was the beloved mother of a son, Paul Day of Ridgway; a daughter, Debra Sidelinger and her husband Randolph of St. Marys; and by a granddaughter, Mandy Sidelinger. Dorothy's children were her greatest source of pride and she will be missed by all who knew and loved her.
