Caroline A. Day, 84, of Oceanport, died at her home on Wednesday, January 25th.
She was born in Jersey City and was raised in Hoboken. Caroline met her husband, Edmond, at a Dance at the High-Hat Club in Bayonne, and less than a year later, they married in St. Ann’s R.C. Church in Jersey City Heights. They settled in Oceanport in 1972.
They were parishioners of Holy Trinity RC Church, where Caroline has been a devoted and faithful parishioner. Caroline enjoyed shopping and travelling with Ed throughout Europe. They celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary on a cruise to Antarctica. She enjoyed her job at Monmouth Park, where she greeted the patrons for 37 years.
Caroline loved having her family together at any time, but especially during Thanksgiving and Christmas. She was a kind and loving person who had the ability to light up a room.
She was a fan of the Beach Boys, Neil Sedaka, and Andrea Bocelli. By far, her favorite song was “Sweet Caroline,” especially when it was sung to her by Ed.
She was pre-deceased by her parents, Caroline and Salvatore Balletta; and her brother, Jerry and his wife Helen Balletta.
Surviving is her husband of 62 years, Edmond R. Day; their son and daughter-in-law, Anthony and Laura Day, Towson, MD.; her three cherished grandchildren, Aaron, Ethan and Olivia Day; her sister, Ann Van Brunt, Jersey City; her nieces and nephew, Carrie Ann and her husband John Giroux, Carol Calligy, Sal and Regina Balletta and Geri and Stan Subjinski.
Visitation is Sunday, Jan. 30th, 2 to 4 pm at the Woolley-Boglioli Funeral Home, 10 Morrell Street, Long Branch. Mass of Christian Burial, Monday, Jan. 31st, 10 am, at Holy Trinity RC Church, Long Branch. In lieu of flowers, Caroline’s family requests, with gratitude, memorial contributions directed to Holy Trinity RC Church, 380 Division Street, Long Branch, NJ 07740.

I adored Carol she and my mom Dorothy was extremely close. She always said she was more of a Day as much as the rest of the family. I will say that she was truly apart of our family she fit in better then most. She was so much fun she laughed and loved life so much she was like my mother. She loved Church and God so much she taught me things about she worships GOD with holy water she even sent me some in the mail and I used it often it was beautiful. She will really be missed and I know that God will watch over Ed and Anthony and the family. I am truly sorry for your loss it has broke my heart she will be so missed. I love all of you so much because we are family and I’m so proud for the whole family to be apart of our me. I loved her and I love all of you.
