Adelaide Bailey
Formerly of Summerville
1919-2010
Adelaide (Zweifel) Bailey, 90, formerly of Summerville, died July 25. She was born Oct. 19, 1919, to Joseph E. Zweifel and Lily (Conrad) Zweifel on the Zweifel family farm near Summerville.
She graduated from La Grande High School in 1937 and attended the University of Oregon and Eastern Oregon College where she received a bachelor's degree in education.
In the mid-1940s she had a daily radio program on KODL (The Dalles) using the pseudonym of Pamela Bailey, but she spent most of her working life as a teacher. She taught in Oregon public schools for 30 years, most of them in the first grade at Chenoweth Primary School in The Dalles. After her retirement she lived in Salem for several years and spent three years working as a housemother at Oregon State University. She moved to Down Manor in Hood River in 1996 and to Brookside Manor in 2005.
She enjoyed bridge, playing the piano, writing, word games, knitting and reading and had been a member of Beta Sigma Phi and Delta Kappa Gamma, a teacher's honorary.
Survived by her three daughters: Regan Olson of Sunriver, Carolyn and her husband, Doug Morrison, of Abbotsford, B.C., and Ellen and her husband, Paul Harshbarger, of Hood River; two granddaughters; and one nephew.
Lord, I had a burden,
It was such a heavy pack,
But I prayed for strength
And it was lighter on my back.
Lord, I had a sorrow,
Oh, how the tears did flow,
But I knelt in prayer to you
And I felt my sorrow go.
Lord, I had a hate,
A fierce burning thing,
But you of love gave help
And I felt no more its sting.
Lord, so you've helped me
Through arduous days and years,
Strong hands to guide, yet gentle,
To brush away the tears.
