Linda Bailey Teames Obituary (1945 - 2007)

Our beloved wife, mother, grandmother, sister, and friend, Linda Bailey Teames, 61 passed away Friday October 19 in South Jordan, Utah surrounded by her family. She was born November 6, 1945 in Salt Lake City, Utah to Orson Gunnell and Otella Zollinger Bailey. She married the love of her life, Charles Robert Teames on November 2, 1967 in the Salt Lake LDS Temple. She was a faithful member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day-Saints and held many callings throughout her life and found great joy in serving others. She had a beautiful voice and was always willing to share her talent. Linda’s greatest joy was in caring and raising her seven children and she took great pride in their many accomplishments. She always considered Heather and Amy her “little angels.” All who knew Linda felt her love of the Gospel and she used her love of music and her voice to express her testimony and her love of the Savior. Linda loved the arts and enjoyed attending the symphony, opera and ballet. She taught her children a love of music and how it could enrich and bless their lives. She showed us how wonderful life could be. She always made everything so beautiful and was the perfect hostess and loved to entertain. She was truly “one classy lady!” The family would like to thank the many ward members, care givers, volunteers and friends who helped care for Linda. Your compassionate and selfless service has been a blessing and was greatly appreciated.
