She was the sixth of nine children born to George Kelly and Nora Adams Kelly. In 1926, her family moved to the Charlo area where she started school. The final big move in April 1933 was made by horse-drawn wagon to Valley View. Lovie remembered her growing-up years with fondness. During the summer of 1944, Lovie and friend Fern worked in the shipyards in Tacoma, Washington, making rocket launchers for destroyers. Lovie graduated from Polson High School, Class of 1945, and then attended cadet nursing school in Idaho Falls. She returned home to work at St. Joseph Hospital. She met Dean Bailey at a dance at the Polson Country Club. They started dating and were married May 19, 1946. Lovie and Dean were partners in life: farming, milking cows, raising children, crops, gardens and bum lambs. They bought land and built a home near Polson. Dean worked at Sterling's Blacksmith, then as a millwright and aluminum welder. Lovie was a full-time domestic engineer extraordinaire. She managed the needs of a large family as well as being involved in activities that were important to her and her children: swimming lessons, baseball, band, choir and 4-H, which included sewing, gardening, cooking, canning, dairy and beef calves. She was a 4-H member, parent and leader, passing skills on to her own children, grandchildren and others in the community. Lovie was a member of VFW Ladies Auxiliary, Mission Mountain Quilt Guild and a lifelong member of the Valley View Woman's Club. Lovie, Dean and family returned to farm in Valley View in 1974. Nearing retirement, she kept very active using her kitchen managing skills at Valley View Woman's Club dinners, the Pondera Restaurant and school lunchroom. Lovie's sewing skills served her well doing production sewing for Three Dog Down and Doctor Down. Lovie enjoyed visiting friends and family, camping/fishing trips, swimming, picnics, gardening and quilting. She took great pleasure in sewing and attended many quilting classes, always sharing her wonderful hand-quilted projects with family and friends. Lovie felt honored when she was the featured quilter at the annual Mission Mountain Quilt Guild Show in 2010. Lovie Bernice Bailey passed away peacefully at her home in Polson on Dec. 18, 2012, surrounded by her family. She was 87. Lovie was preceded in death by daughter, Doral Diane (1955); husband, James Dean (1980); grandson, James Cecil (1980); son, Vernon Dewey (2009); parents, George Arthur (1980) and Nora Frances (1992); four brothers: Glenn, Clell, John and Leo; and two sisters, Glenna and Wilma.
