Jean Elizabeth Bailey

Jean Elizabeth Bailey, 96, peacefully passed away on Tuesday, February 15, 2022 of natural causes surrounded by her family in Sweet Run, West Virginia. Jean was born in 1925 in Huntington, W.Va. After graduating from Buffalo High School, Jean and her best friend Lexie Easthom headed off to St. Mary's School of Nursing both became RN's and started their lifelong nursing careers. After WWII she married the love of her life C.C. "Mike" Bailey. She followed his career while continuing her nursing career living in Bridgeport, W.Va., and Alliance, Ohio. She moved back to Sweet Run in 1975. Jean was the queen of the family, loved nursing, and Marshall football. She loved to have a good time and had no filters. She loved her family, especially her grandkids and great grandkids. She also loved her constant companion and unbelievably spoiled dog Minnie who she took to McDonalds for Happy Meals. Jean is now reunited with her husband Mike Bailey; her parents, Clyde and Anne White; and her brother, Jack. She will be greatly missed by her brother, Jim; her four children, Mike (Debbie), Pat (Vivian), Terry Schafer, and Tim (Joy); her grandkids, James, Matt, Katie, Dwayne, Andrea, Patrick, Andy, Adam, Erin, Emily, Jessie, and Hannah; along with eighteen great grandkids and one on the way. Funeral services will be conducted by Father Dean Borgmeyer on Saturday, February 19, 2022 at 1 pm at the Reger Funeral Chapel. Burial will follow in Spring Hill Cemetery. There will be no visitation.
