Paul Ryden Bailey

Paul Ryden Bailey died on October 19 , 2014, after an eight year battle with Parkinson’s disease, which he fought with courage.

He was born in Lewiston, Idaho in 1938 to the late, Harry and Edna Bailey.

He graduated from Northwest Nazarene College (now Northwest Nazarene University) in 1960 and earned a master’s degree in education from Boise State University in 1985.  Paul taught elementary school in the Boise School District for 36 years.  His love of reading and expansive library reflected his many interests through the years: teaching, painting, art, poetry, fly-fishing, martial arts, golf, tennis, travel, and faith.

Paul married Jan Whetzel in 1980.  A previous marriage ended in divorce.

A man of character and honor, Paul quietly lived out his faith in Jesus, his Lord and Savior.  He was a loving and loyal husband to wife Jan; supportive brother to sister Julie Tusberg, Boise; kind and loving father to children and grandchildren: Carla (Fred) Nicholson, VA; Jennifer Marshall, NJ; Brian (Nicole), Samantha, Harry Bailey, CA; stepchildren: Kim (Bret) Pattan, Horseshoe Bend; Ron (Deanna) Whetzel, Nampa; step-grandchildren and great grandchildren: Aaron (Fallon), Allison, Luke Whetzel, Boise; Jana (Landon), Kai Grindheim, NC; newphew and nieces: David and Lisa Tusberg, Boise; and Noelle (Robert) Duryee, CA.  He is survived by all.
