Pauline Horsley Bailey

Our dear sweet angel mother, Pauline Claire Horsley Bailey, passed away peacefully, at home, Monday, June 8, 2009. She was a beautiful lady inside and out, who loved life, learning, her family and friends, her Heavenly Father, and Savior Jesus Christ, with all her heart and soul.

Mother was a talented lady, great cook, seamstress, poet, gardener, friend, and best of all, mother and grandmother! She could make anything, and everything she made was wonderful, beautiful, and creative. She was very generous with her time and talents, was a friend to all, loved everyone, and everyone loved her in return.

She was born December 7, 1934 in Salt Lake City, Utah, to Rulon David Horsley and Patricia Brown Hayes. She was raised and schooled in Salt Lake City.

Mom was a flight attendant for Western Airlines, stationed in Denver, Colorado, where she met and married our father, Lyndon William "Bill" Bailey Jr. They were married December 10, 1955. Their marriage was solemnized in the Salt Lake Temple, April 8, 1958. He passed away August 1, 1999. Through their union came six beautiful children: Debbie Conger (Ted), Richard (Lori), Edward (Penni), Lynn Condie (Bryan), Robert (Maria), and Liz Young, 21 grandchildren, and three great grandchildren.

Mom and Dad lived, and raised us, in Denver, Colorado, San Jose, California, Ogden, Utah, Beloit, Wisconsin, Afton, Wyoming, Logan, Utah, Jackson Hole, Wyoming where they owned and operated Frontier Land, Garden City, Utah where they owned and operated the Bear Lake KOA, and Salt Lake City, Utah.
