    Mary Louise King Bailey went home to be with her Lord and Savior Nov. 29, 2016, in Ponca City, surrounded by her husband and daughters. Her fun, outgoing, and loving spirit will be missed by all who knew her.
    Mary was born Oct. 17, 1936 in Tonkawa, OK. Her parents were Rev. W.R. and Agnes Main King. She began piano lessons at six and often played for church services her father preached. She was also a talented singer and always brought groups of all kinds of people together in song. She played handbells and directed several choirs. Her last performance was at her 80th birthday party, Nov. 5, 2016.
    Mary graduated from Tonkawa High School in 1954 and Okla. Baptist Univ. in 1958, majoring in Music Education, followed by a Master of Arts in Vocal Performance at Colorado State Univ. She taught elementary music, private piano and voice lessons for 35 years in 5 states, moving as her husband Roger Bailey's position as Electrical Engineer transferred.
    When it was time to retire, they chose Tonkawa, OK, and the house where Mary was born and raised. In retirement she was a member of First Baptist Church, Ponca City, where she sang in the choir, played piano for Sunday school opening, and occasionally played organ for worship.
