Ivy Dailey 

Ivy A. Dailey, 87, of Baker City, died Jan. 6, 2003, at St. Elizabeth Health
Services. 

Her funeral will be Saturday at 2 p.m. at Gray's West & Company Pioneer
Chapel, 1500 Dewey Ave. Pastor Ed Niswender of the Calvary Baptist Church will
officiate. Vault interment will be at Mount Hope Cemetery. A reception will be
held at the Calvary Baptist Church in Baker City following the interment. 

Ivy was born Oct. 10, 1915, in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, to Charlie and Vira
(Powers) Person. Ivy's mother, Vira, passed away shortly after giving birth to
her. Ivy's father worked in various sawmills to provide for his family, while
her aunt and sisters looked after her. She attended schools in Coeur d'Alene,
Bates and Enterprise. Later in life she met Floyd Dailey. The couple fell in
love and were married in 1935 in Weiser, Idaho. 

After their wedding, they moved to their ranch in Keating where they raised
registered Herefords until 1965. Upon their retirement from the ranch, they
moved to Union, where Floyd worked for the U.S. Forest Service. In 1974, he
retired from the Forest Service and he and Ivy moved to Baker City. Both
Floyd and Ivy worked for the Senior Center and did janitorial work for the
Calvary Baptist Church in Baker City during this time. 

Ivy worked and played every bit as hard as the men. She could be found
splitting posts and cutting wood right alongside Floyd. If there was ever time
to spare, she might be found on the river, fishing for steelhead or maybe
hunting elk or deer in the mountains. Ivy was always right there to help if
anyone was in need.

She is survived by her grandson, Meb Dailey, and his wife Minajean, of Baker
City; granddaughter, Tommie Rose Ashby and her husband Blaiden, of McDermitt,
Nev.; daughter-in-law Tommie Rose Dailey of Baker City; sister Marion;
numerous nieces, nephews, great-grandchildren, great-great-grandchildren, and
great-great-great-grandchildren. 

She was preceded in death by her husband Floyd in 1995 and a son, Milburn, in
1986, as well as her parents, and several sisters. 

Memorial contributions may be made to the Keating Rural Fire District in care
