Memories and Condolences
for Sara Bailey

Not sure what to say?





Sara was a wonderful person and I still think of her often. She was a great listener and cook! I miss our long talks and the stories she'd share about Neil, her dogs or sisters. She is missed greatly.

I worked with Sara, and was so blessed to do so. She serviced some of my students and I would go with her or meet her at the designated venue. She was always kind to everyone and so loving. I appreciated getting to know her on a personal basis as well as professional. Her heart was loving and that showed through everything that she did. She is missed

I knew Sara from a distance so to speak. I worked with her and spent a lot of time on the phone working with our students. She often talked our her family dinners with her son and daughter in law and how precious they were to her. We shared a love for animals and I truly loved her dog stories. Sara touched my heart in so many ways and I'm sorry I lost touch with her over the last year. She was a beautiful and kind soul and I pray for her family and friends. May God comfort you with wonderful memories and a peacefulness that comes only come from Him above.

Neil,
So sorry about your Mom. She was a great lady; and when I knew her, she always made me laugh. She sincerely cared about you and never missed a parent-teacher meeting. I also worked with her at Andrews where she was very helpful to me. She always bragged about you, Neil. Both of you are in my prayers.

How grateful I feel to have known Sara. Her smile and kind spirit have made a lasting impression. In recent years, we didn't have the opportunity to talk often, but when we did it was as though no time has passed. She was a wonderful listener, always had something nice to say and made those around her feel welcome. Sara - you will be missed!

Sara was one of the kindest people I have ever met. She truly cared deeply for everyone of her students and it showed. Working with her at OHVA and getting to travel with her for staff events was a blessing of time well spent with a wise friend. After moving to Lake County she was a wealth of information of family fun and county gems to keep my children busy and having fun. She will be missed and her family is in my prayers.
