Ruth Bailey, born on September 17, 1930, has finally left us on March 26, 2023, at the ripe age of 92. She regaled and entertained all of us with her amazing humor and love for life. Her irrepressible laughter, contagious joy, and endless bon mots will be missed by everyone who knew her.

She has lived a full and happy life, dedicating most of her time to her family and close friends. Ruth loved to keep herself busy with her hobbies, including cross-stitch and bird-watching. Even in her old age, she always had something to keep her days interesting.

She was a great mother to her three children, Sarah, Thomas, and Linda. Her grandchildren, Mia, James, and Henry, will never forget their beloved "Nana" and the fun times they shared together.

Ruth was a proud member of a book club that met every month. She was not only a great reader but also an enthusiastic participant in the group's discussions. She loved a good challenge and would happily accept any literary recommendation that came her way.

Although she will be deeply missed, Ruth Bailey had a life well-lived, full of love, laughter, and friendship. We will always cherish the memories we made with her and the many things she taught us about life.
