On Nov. 5, 2015, Miami County lost a very special resident when Mrs. Ruby (Mote) Bailey passed away peacefully. Mrs. Bailey was born May 5, 1921 in Darke County. She was 94 years young.
Mrs. Bailey is preceded in death by her parents, Henry and Bertha (Turner) Mote and by the light of her life, her husband of 52 years in 1997, Dr. (Capt.) Leonard P. Bailey. Additionally, she is preceded in death by her brothers, Guy, Omar, and Samuel Mote and by her sisters, Garnett Humphries and Taleen Todd, her step-daughter and step-son, Nancy (Bailey) and William Taylor and by Sandy (Beavers) Donovan whom she helped raise and encourage.
She is survived by her son, Edward (Susan) Bailey of Springfield; a granddaughter, Elizabeth Bailey; a grandson, Edward III; a step-son, Perry (Marianne) Bailey and their children, Todd and Susan Bailey of Kettering; several step-grandchildren; two brothers, Henry Mote and Stanley (Linda) Mote all of Union City, Ind.; Stacey (Beavers) Ceccarelli whom she also helped raise and Stacey's family of Allison Park, P.A.
Mrs. Bailey was a 1939 graduate of Wayne Township High School in Randolph County, Ind. and was an honors graduate of the Methodist Hospital School of Nursing in Indianapolis in 1943. She was employed as a nurse at the Randolph County Hospital and later in private duty nursing at the Methodist Hospital of Indianapolis.
Mrs. Bailey was a volunteer for many years at the Red Cross Blood Bank, a past president of the Washington Township P.T.A. and a room mother. She was a member of the Westminster Presbyterian Church, Fortnightly Club, Piqua Country Club, and the Y.M.C.A. As an avid reader, she loved history and politics and besides being a nurse since World War II, enjoyed assisting her husband in his veterinary practice and racing stables. Ruby set high standards for herself in all that she did and was most accomplished in gardening, crafts of all kinds and fine needlework. She cared deeply for all things big and small and was a true "Gem" to all who knew her.
A service to honor her life will begin at 11:30 a.m. Saturday, Nov. 7, 2015, at the Fletcher Cemetery, Church Road (Casstown-Fletcher Road/CR- 22) with the Rev. Kazy Blocher Hinds officiating. A luncheon will be held immediately following the service at the family farm.
