She was born June 4, 1934 in Salt Lake City to Magdaline Elizabeth Grotepas and Roeflof 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; sons, Adam and Michael, and their spouses; brother, Dick Grotepas; and four beautiful grandchildren. She was preceded in death by her mother, father, and brothers, Roelof Jr., Leonard, Merlin, and Calvin Grotepas.
A public viewing will be held in her honor at 9:30 a.m. on January 7, 2017 at Redwood Memorial Estates Mortuary, 6500 South Redwood Road (1700 West), Taylorsville, followed by funeral services beginning at 10:30 a.m.
She will be buried in the Salt Lake City Cemetery.
A family luncheon will be held at approximately 1:30 p.m. in the Mountain Shadows Fifth Ward Building, 7925 South 2700 West, West Jordan.
