Resolution On Recent Passing Of Mrs. Harry Miller
Resolution on the Death of a Sister and Friend
Whereas, our Merciful God in His divine wisdom has found a place in
the Kingdom of Heaven for our beloved friend and sister, Sadie
Miller, who was called from this world on the morning of May 10,
1937; and
Whereas, as a member of the Ladies’ Auxiliary of the Congregation
Agudas Achim synagogue of Corsicana, Texas, she served so faithfully
and unselfishly, giving of her time and money, aiding in
distributing charities to the poor and unfortunate, assisting in
Sunday school and synagogue activities and at all times expressing
through her acts of kindness and devotion her generous personality
and the goodness of her heart; and
Whereas, the shadows of death have cast a gloom about the home of
this good and generous woman, and in the hearts of the members of
her devoted family, and we desire that they shall know of our deep
appreciation for having known such a wonderful person that they may
realize and know that she will live forever in the hearts of those
who knew her best and in the thoughts of those who realize the
services she performed and the sacrifices she made for the benefit
of her community and the needy within it; and
Whereas, her passing will not alter nor erase our feelings of love
and devotion for her, and we, feeling the loss of our endeared
friend and sister, desire to express our tribute and extend our
sympathies to those of her family who mourn her loss so greatly;
now, therefore, be it
Resolved, by the Ladies Auxiliary of the Congregation Agudas Achim
synagogue, that we express in this inadequate manner to the members
of her bereaved family our heartfelt sympathy and our friendship
through the dark shadows that surround her home, and knowing that
her worthy and purposeful life has earned for her a place in God's
Heaven, we remind them that she has but passed from a world of
troubles and tribulations to a haven of peace and quiet. Be it
further
Resolved, that a copy of these resolutions be made a part of the
permanent records of our association in recognition of her long
service, that a copy be mailed to the family of our deceased sister
and friend, and that a copy be made public that her record of
goodness and mercy may inspire others to lead lives as exemplary as
that of our departed friend, Sadie Miller, has ever been.

Eula Faye
Boyte Hair, 91, was granted her wings on Tuesday, November 6, 2012.
She spent her last days surrounded by the family whose lives she
molded. She was a beloved mother, grandmother, aunt and friend. Faye
was born on January 31, 1921 to Rube Boyte and Zelma Owen Boyte and
was the second of five children. She married George Milton Hair in
1940 and had three children. As he became a ‘building pastor,’ she
became the quintessential pastor's wife, working with youth and
teaching Sunday School at churches in Texas, Oklahoma, and Kansas.
Faye continued her ministry into her retirement at the Baptist
Retirement Village outside of Madill, OK. She was a woman of great
faith who inspired many and was often considered a mentor to younger
generations. Faye enjoyed life, family and many friends and was
always there to brighten the lives of others. She spent her spare
time gardening, sewing, and carrying on her parents’ tradition of
dominos.
She is now rejoined with her parents, all four siblings, and her
husband of almost fifty years. She is survived by two daughters,
Carolyn Dowers of Edmond, Marsha Reynolds of Muskogee, and son, Dr.
Dennis Hair and wife Holly of Norman; three grandchildren Claire
Dowers-Nichols and husband Ron of Guthrie, Brianna Hair and Forrest
Hair both of Norman; step-grandchildren Jenifer and Junior Nichols;
and adopted son Dusty Turner. Gifts of remembrance may be made to
the Oklahoma Baptist Village Communities, Development Office, 3800
North May, Oklahoma City, OK 73112.
A memorial service will be held Friday, November 9, at 10:30 am

Ralph Waldo Emerson said, “It is not the length of life, but the
depth of life.” Faye was a shining example of both who leaves behind
a legacy of laughter and love.

 Kenneth
Roy Bailey of Malakoff left this earth for his Heavenly home
at the age of 74 on Wednesday morning, Nov. 14, 2012,
surrounded by his family. Roy had a lengthy battle with
complications from a lung disease and passed away at Baylor
Medical Center in Dallas.
Roy was born in Ash Flat, Ark. on Oct. 31, 1938 to General
and Ruby Bailey and was the fifth of eight children. His
parents owned a dairy farm and sawmill, so Roy grew up with
a strong work ethic and an incredibly close family. This
gentle, rural upbringing prepared him for a rewarding life
of commitment to career, family and friends. Roy joined the
Air Force in 1956 and served four years in Roswell, N.M.,
during which time he met and married the love of his life,
Zo. Roy began his career with Texas Power & Light in 1965.
As he progressed with the company, the family moved several
times while raising their three boys.
Lasting friendships were formed wherever they lived.
Following his early retirement from Texas Power & Light, Roy
managed an electrical construction company in Houston,
worked as construction manager in Bryan/College Station,
partnered with a friend to do renovations, and did
consulting work in electrical safety training until the time
of his death. In 2001 he began building the couple's
retirement home on Cedar Creek Lake and completed it a year
later. Roy was a man of many talents and loved a challenge.
Roy enjoyed nature and Fall was his favorite season of the
year. He relished deer hunts with sons, grandsons,
granddaughters, and dear friends. He also enjoyed golfing,
fishing, reading, and other outdoor activities. He was
happiest sharing his experiences and bragging on his
children and grandchildren.
Roy is preceded in death by his mother and father, Ruby and
General Bailey and a sister, Della Brown.
Roy is survived by his wife of 53 years, Zo (Scruggs) Bailey
of Malakoff; sons Ken Bailey and wife, Gaynell of Plano,
Mark Bailey and wife, Carmen of Wylie, Scott Bailey and
wife, Krissey of Malakoff; his grandchildren Chase Bailey of

of their lives together. They raised a family together and
enjoyed the mystery of loving each other unconditionally as

passionate about her love of football and animals. Her
passion for football was evident every time she watched her
favorite NFL team, the Dallas Cowboys, or her son and
grandson play the game she loved. Diane loved animals. She
never turned a stray away and was an advocate for the
welfare of all animals.
