Frances Beverly Hague Bailey “Bev” of Gig Harbor Wash., passed away due to a short illness from lung cancer on April 1, 2022. She will be deeply missed by all who have known her.

Bev was born in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, on April 30, 1943. She moved to California, with her parents Bernie and Vi Hague, when she was eight and then moved to Coeur d’Alene in 1956. She graduated from Coeur d’ Alene High in 1961.

Her love of fashion was known even in high school, as she made her best friend Kay Hanna’s prom dress. She also dyed her hair lavender to match her Vikettes outfit. Among her many talents was her ability to grow just about anything. Her love of plants and gardening were also among the things she enjoyed the most. Living in Okinawa for two years gave her the love of Asian art.

Bev worked as a paralegal, registrar, and event planner for the Washington State Lawyers Association during her lifetime.

Preceding her in death were her sons Michael in 1965 and Kelly in 2009. She leaves behind her sons Tim Bailey, Gary Bailey, and Kenny Bailey all of the Puget Sound area. Her sister Lorrie Vanhook (Jerry) of Spokane, her brother Dan Hague (Lisa) of Rathdrum and her brother Tracy (Chiclet) in Thailand.
