Adelaide (Zweifel) Bailey died on July 25, 2010. She was born October 19, 1919 on the Zweifel family farm near Summerville, Oregon to Joseph E. Zweifel and Lily (Conrad) Zweifel. She graduated from LaGrande 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 1940's 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 thirty years, most of them in the first grade at Chenoweth Primary School. 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. She had been a member of Beta Sigma Phi and Delta Kappa Gamma, a teacher’s honorary.

She is survived by her three daughters: Regan Olson of Sun River, Oregon, Carolyn (Doug) Morrison of Abbotsford, BC, Ellen (Paul) Harshbarger of Hood River; two granddaughters, and one nephew, James Garity of Cove, Oregon.

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.
