Lucy Bailey

Our kind and loving mother, spouse and friend, Lucy Laurie Bailey, returned to her home and family in heaven on December 29, 2016. She was born on June 4, 1934, in Salt Lake City, to Magdaline Elizabeth Grotepas and Roelof Grotepas, and was raised with five brothers in their home on Chicago Street. She graduated from West High School and worked for a local jeweler and as a secretary for the DMV. She married Ferrell Galloway Bailey on April 17, 1970, and they were sealed in the Salt Lake LDS Temple.
Lucy’s greatest joy in life was her family, especially her children and grandchildren. She spent her long and useful life serving, teaching, comforting, leading and loving. She loved the gospel of Jesus Christ and served in many capacities as a member of the LDS church. Her talents and interests in life were numerous, and included singing, playing the violin, cooking, painting, drawing, knitting, tatting, crocheting, genealogy and photography. We will miss her love, her sense of humor, her kindness and her example as a faithful and devoted Christian.
Lucy is survived by her spouse, Ferrell, her sons Adam and Michael and their spouses, her brother Dick Grotepas, and four beautiful grandchildren. She was preceded in death by her mother and father, and by her brothers Roelof Jr., Leonard, Merlin and Calvin Grotepas. A public viewing will be held in her honor on January 7, 2017 at 9:30 AM, at the Redwood Memorial Mortuary, located at 6500 Redwood Road in Salt Lake City, Utah, followed by funeral services beginning at 10:30 AM. She will be buried in the Salt Lake City Cemetery. A family luncheon will be held at approximately 1:30 PM at the LDS chapel at 7925 S. 2700 W. in West Jordan.
