With heavy hearts, we announce the passing of Rebecca Lynn Day, who departed this life on June 5, 2025, at the age of 61.

Born on July 1, 1963, and raised in Buford, Georgia, Lynn lived a life filled with love, purpose, and grace. She was a devoted wife, mother, grandmother, sister, aunt, teacher, and friend—someone whose warmth, intelligence, and passion left a lasting impression on everyone she met.

Lynn graduated from North Gwinnett High School in 1981. She pursued higher education with dedication, earning her bachelor’s degree from Brenau University, a master’s degree in education from the University of North Georgia, and a specialist degree in education from Lincoln Memorial University. Her academic achievements reflected her commitment to excellence and lifelong learning.

For many years, Lynn dedicated herself to educating young minds as a teacher in Gwinnett and Hall County schools. Known for her intelligence and perseverance, she always finished anything she started, seeing challenges through to the end with determination and grace.

Outside the classroom, Lynn was a gifted cook who delighted family and friends with her culinary talents. She enjoyed playing tennis, traveling the world, savoring a good glass of wine, and listening to her favorite country music. A woman of deep faith, Lynn was a proud believer in God, drawing strength and comfort from her spirituality throughout her life.

She is survived by her loving husband, Tracey Day; her daughters, Rachel Day and Rebecca Day; Rebecca Day’s fiancé, Scott Farris; and her cherished granddaughter, Josephine Rae Edmonds. She is also survived by her brothers, Eugene Sells and Rex (Elizabeth) Sells; her sister, Donna (Bernie) Zimmer; her niece, Tabetha (Jason) Payne; and her nephew, Jaylan (Mandy) Sells.
