Grace Lee Bailey one of 11 siblings, was born to Pauline and John Oscar Wall on June 8, 1916 in Grady, New Mexico. She passed from this life on April 22, 2009, having been a member of 16th and Pile Church of Christ for many years. Grace and Foy loved members there and their love was returned.

While still a small child, she moved in a covered wagon with her family to New Mexico where she resided for the remainder of her life. Some of their neighbors in Curry County were the Bailey family and at 17 she and Foy Bailey were married in Moriarity. Early in their marriage they lived in Ft. Sumner where Foy worked for the PWA which was constructing the dam. Then they came to Clovis where they remained.

Grace was a homemaker all her life; Foy was a home builder and she assisted him in designing and decorating homes. Her hobby was making china dolls for which she made beautiful clothes; most of these were given to and treasured by her family. Later in life she assisted Foy in restoring furniture. Their home was always open to family and friends and many family gatherings were held there since several of her siblings had moved to California and would return for visits.

Survivors include her husband Foy, three daughters and their spouses; Virginia and Thomas Rhodes of Amarillo, Karen and Mike McCall of Hempstead, TX, Leta and Chuck Harvel of Aiken, SC, and Two sons and their spouses; Darrell and Jeannie Bailey, and Jerry Bailey of Clovis.
