Constance Billee Gerome (Bailey)

Constance Billee Gerome (Bailey), born in Salt Lake City on June 23, 1937, peacefully passed from this life on February 15, 2024, in the comfort of her home. Billee is the daughter of George and Carma Bailey.

Billee rejoins Clyde Samuel Gerome, her loving husband of 67 years. She is survived  by her 5 children Carman (Scott Latimer), Candy (Scot Poole), Clyde Gerome (Karla), Corinne (David Stewart), Camille (Tim Knudsen), 21 grandchildren, and 24 great-grandchildren.

Billee is a bright light, complimentary, warm, personable and loves her family with all her heart. She cultivated a special relationship with each and every member of her family and treated each one as though they were her favorite. She takes great pride in all of her children and grandchildren and endeavored to foster a loving and supportive home. She continually sought the needs of others and was always quick to be of service. She is a woman of great humility who endured much throughout her life, but always with a smile. Billee is her family’s biggest cheerleader, always managing to leave all feeling better than she found them.

She is a devout member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and a woman of incredible faith. She truly exemplifies a Christlike life and acted as a beacon of guidance for her family.

Billee has many wonderful, memorable, and quirky sayings. She would greet people at the door saying, “come right in, said the spider to the fly” or upon leaving the house she would cheerfully sing “Put Your Shoes on Lucy.” These fun little sayings always brought so much cheer to her family and friends. She is a talented artist who enjoys painting, sewing, quilting, and embroidery among other activities.

Funeral services will be held on Thursday, February 22, 2024, at the LDS Chapel located on 2925 E Bengal Blvd in Cottonwood Heights, UT at 11:00 a.m. There will be a viewing one hour prior to the service. The interment will be in the Memorial Mountain View Cemetery.

The family expresses their deepest gratitude to the caregivers; Karen Rodriguez, Rian Taveras, and the caregivers at Arosa as well as our friends, and neighbors of Brighton Circle who were so helpful and kind to our wonderful mother and grandmother.
