Ted was born August 9, 1944 to Avalo and Imogene (Prescott) Baillie. He was Baptized at a young age at Assembly of God Church in Westerville. Ted attended Cherryvale Country School until the 8th grade, finishing his education at Broken Bow, graduating in 1962.
He joined the U.S. Army in 1963, was Honorably Discharged in 1969, serving most of his time in Germany. He was united in marriage to Judy K. Brakeman on February 16, 1967. They lived happily ever after for 53 years in their hometown of Broken Bow. To this union two sons were born: Tim and Jeff.
Ted was a jack of all trades but was an ole farm boy at heart. He enjoyed being at the family farm in Westerville, haying in the summers and running cattle until retirement.
Ted also worked for the County until he started his own Carpentry business, specialty being custom cabinets. He loved building and working with his hands; his craftsmanship was impeccable. Even in retirement, Ted would stay busy with building projects, traveling with Judy, fishing, or having coffee with the guys at Tumbleweed. But his greatest joy was attending his grandkids many activities.
Left to cherish the memories they made with Ted are his devoted wife Judy, son Tim (Angie), grandson Tyler, granddaughter Amanda (Dakota) Fitzgerald and great grandson Sutton.
Ted is also survived by his brother Lowell (Lana) Baillie, sister Jo (Bob) Woodward. He will be mourned by many nieces, nephews, and friends as well. Ted never knew a stranger.
Ted was preceded in death by his parents, and son Jeff.
