Read MoreMy condolences on the loss of such a wonderful woman! She was my mentor and for many years in the Air Force; I worked for her in Florida in 2000/2001. She was an amazing example of a leader, as a human, and as a horseman (we shared a love of Arabian horses). I will forever think of her when I put on red lipstick, which was one of her trademarks.

We married the same man at different seasons of life, both became ex-wives, and enjoyed confidential conversations over the years. She was an excellent confidant , military leader and woman. I will miss you Ro.

Although I did not know her, she sounds like an outstanding example of excellence in the world. What a legacy of service, courage, and love she leaves. I am so sorry for her family and friends to suffer her loss. Rest in peace, Hero.

I worked for General Ro Bailey around 2002-2004 in the Aeronautical Enterprise at Wright Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio along with Col Carpenter. She would often call me in to hear my persepective as the only Chief Master Sergeant in her unit. She always took care of the Enlisted Troops in our organization. Great leader, listener and person, we will miss her dearly. Slow Salute to you General Bailey. RIP, Chief (Ret) Durkee, USAF

I spent time with Ro when she was a vice chancellor at UAF and I was involved with staff governance. UAF definitely had some challenges during this time and we had good conversations. Condolences to the family.

General Bailey is a great leader in all she did and demanded the best from you. She would always be the last to leave from work and she would not ask someone to do something that she would not do. A top-notch officer and she will be missed by many. Sorry to see her taken before her time. God bless the family in their lost of their love one.
