Barbara Bagley, 79, of Henderson, passed away Feb. 5, 2009. She was born Barbara Maxine Gibson in Midway, Utah, Sept. 10, 1929, to Bill and Florence Gibson. She graduated from the University of Utah, where she met her future husband, Melvin J. Bagley. She worked as an elementary school teacher in Los Angeles while Melvin attended optometry school. After his graduation, Melvin and Barbara settled in Henderson in 1955, where Melvin was Henderson's first optometrist.
