Ruth Bailey

Mrs. Bailey was my science teacher at Parkway. I only remember a few of my teachers after all this time and she is one of them. Everybody wanted to have her as their teacher. We were her kids as long as we were in her class. She demanded respect and gladly gave it back to her students. She was truly one of kind and one of the best teacher I ever had. To her family and friends my thoughts and prayers are with you.

I began my school years with Ruth as my first grade teacher and was fortunate enough to again have her as my teacher in middle school. There are hundreds of us out there who can credit Ruth Bailey for the persons we have turned out to be. She demanded respect from her students and received it - not out of fear, but because she also gave us respect back with loving kindness. She deserves all the kudos she will receive in her passing, but she also knew how her students felt about her while...

Mrs. Bailey was one of my 7th grade teachers @ Parkway Junior High. I still remember her fondly to this day as a caring & most respected teacher and person. I was fortunate to have crossed her path in life!

To the Family of Mrs. Bailey,
What a wonderful teacher Mrs. Bailey was at Parkway Junior High School! Everyone wanted to be in her class, especially hot dog day! She taught boys to be gentlemen and taught girls to be ladies. She was not only a wonderful teacher, but a loving and caring person. God has gained a dear angel.
