Nancy Bailey

Nancy Dee Ann Bailey, 68, passed away surrounded by her family on January 26, 2017. Born in Kansas on 1/30/48, Nancy built her life around her passions: family and friends, travel, literature and service.

Family was always Nancy's priority and her life was filled with gatherings and celebrations. Nancy's parents, siblings, nieces, nephews and cousins sought her companionship and counsel, which she enthusiastically shared with a twinkling smile and warm embrace. Her family also frequently accompanied her on her many travels across the world. Nancy always returned from her adventures with wonderful stories to tell and a contagious wanderlust. A voracious reader, Nancy shared a love of books and poetry with her nieces and nephews all of whom credit her for their own passion for reading. Nancy also dedicated a great deal of her life to service. She was a Girl Scout leader, a mentor with Big Brothers/Big Sisters, an advocate for animal welfare, and a staunch supporter of women's rights.

Nancy is survived by her siblings, Jim (Penny) Bailey, Rebecca (Doug) Holmes, and Bill (Debbie) Bailey, her nieces and nephews and their children and extended family throughout the country. Nancy's sense of humor and quick laugh will be remembered by all of those she loved and worked with, lived beside and served.

Services will be held on Monday, January 30, 2017 at Brown's Chapel, at 11:00 am, 904 N 7th Street, Grand Junction, CO.
