William Bailey Obituary
Raymond Bailey
Asheville - Died peacefully early Thursday morning, January 12. Bill was loved dearly by his wife and childhood sweetheart, Marianna, his son Thomas (Tricia) and two daughters, Lynn (Allen) and Nan (Maria), and his half-brother Van (Amy) Brown. He leaves a legacy of light and laughter through his 6 grandchildren and 2 great-grandchildren. There will be two celebrations of his life. The first will be held at the HealthCare Chapel at the Deerfield Retirement Community in Asheville, NC 28803, Monday, January 16, 2017, 10:30 AM. The second at Jubilee!, 46 Wall St. Asheville, NC 28801, Sunday, January 22, 2017 2:00 PM. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made to the Deerfield Employee Appreciation Fund or the Jubilee! Compassion Fund.

Hi Lynn,
I saw you on Sunday at Jubilee while I was greeting and wanted to personally face to face tell you I was sorry for your loss but I could see many others had already done that and you were rather upset so I decided not to add to your sorrow at that time.
Please accept my sympathy for your loss. He was a sweet jovial smiling fun soul. I know you will be surrounded with folks that love and support you on Sunday for his celebration of life and I hope that comforts you. I will be out of town with my Mom so will miss it.
Wishing you and your family peace and courage to face the days ahead and loving memories that you can hold close to your heart.
Warmly,
Sandy Jones
