H. Louise Bailey's Obituary
Louise Bailey, 81, passed peacefully Monday, November 18th at her home in Decatur, IL. Her spirit is carried on by her 3 surviving children, 6 grandchildren, and 4 siblings. Louise was loving and was loved. While her absence brings us great sorrow, we have been forever touched by the light of her love, her beautiful smile, and her warm hugs and kisses.
We are blessed to have known Louise. She taught us so much. She was ingenious…there wasn’t much she couldn’t do or figure out. Louise was our “go to” for all things from recipe substitutes to home improvement solutions. She loved word games, had a weakness for yarn, was an avid crocheter, made and donated hats for cancer patients, was a collector of dragonflies, and was a master doll maker.
Louise, Mom, Grandma … you will live with us forever. Thank you for your love.
Louise asked that her life be celebrated in private with her immediate family.
