Doris Bailey Obituary
Doris received her physical education degree from Boston University and her Master's degree from Russell Sage College. She began her career at the former Lockwood High School in Warwick, and retired as an Associate Professor Emerita of Physical Education at Hood College in Frederick, Maryland. When she began at Hood in 1961, her colleagues quickly turned friends and ultimately became another family to her.
During World War II, she was a member of the United States' Air Force civilian auxiliary group, the Civil Air Patrol. She was a woman ahead of her times and was always ready for a challenge or an adventure. She would often inject her physical education background in fun activities with her nieces and nephews. They would do all sorts of crafts at the cabin in Maine as well as receive lessons in boating, swimming, tennis and cross-country skiing. She was also passionate about music and was a director of the Warwick Central Baptist Church choir as well as high school, college, community and senior choruses.
In her 91 years, she grew to be a wonderful person. Her love will live on in her two sisters: Marion Kingsbury of Washington, NJ and Constance Warren of E. Greenwich, RI; her six nieces and nephews Janet Matulis, James Kingsbury, David Kingsbury, Andrew Kingsbury, Lynn Jacavone (Michael) and Susan Mahoney (Tom) and fourteen grand-nieces and nephews. She will also be missed by her Hood College family, and her dear friends Bonnie, Betsy, Mary and several others that enjoyed her company.
At her own request, all services will be private. To memorialize Doris, donations may be made to Hood College: Office of Institutional Advancement, 401 Rosemont Avenue, Frederick, MD 21701 (payable to Hood College) or online at https://secure.hood.edu/makeagift/.

Emily Kilby, Hood College, class of '65
September 4, 2021
Miss Bailey was forever part of my Hood memories, and I see that, as freshmen, were her first class when she began her college teaching career. Not that I ever did anything more than bumble my way through field hockey and lacrosse so I can't say I was in any way a memorable phys. ed. student for her. But she has remained among my fond memories for all these years.
