RUTH JENSEN WHITE BAILEY, 89, died Monday March 9th at Legacy House Assisted Living in Logan. She was born September 13, 1919 in Logan, the fourth child of five born to James Arthur and Ruth (Ruby) Williamson Jensen. She spent her childhood growing up in Hyrum and graduated from South Cache High School in 1937. While she was working at Utah State Agricultural College (Utah State University), she met Floyd Stoker White from Lehi, Utah. They were married April 3, 1942 in the Logan Temple and spent 45 years raising their family and working together in their family business in Richmond. Floyd passed away on September 15, 1987. Five years later she became reacquainted with lifelong friend, Norval H. Bailey. They were married in 1992 and resided in Provo until their return to Cache Valley in 2002. Norval passed away March 3, 2006.

Ruth was very active in civic affairs and the LDS church. The DUP James Hendricks Camp and Relic Hall in Richmond and the Richmond Stake Relief Society held special places in her heart, and she devoted countless hours to both. Ruth was a friend to everyone she met and loved by many people.

(Christy) of Richmond, Ruth Ann (Gary) Chambers of North Logan, 30 grandchildren, 68 great grandchildren, and 3 stepchildren and their families: Trudy (Alan) Boyack of St. George, Edward N.
