Scottie Bailey Obituary
May 23, 1937 - January 13, 2021
Scottie Jean Bowman Bailey, 83, of Granite Falls, went to be with her Heavenly Father Wednesday, Jan. 13, 2021. She passed away peacefully while at Caldwell UNC Healthcare.
Scottie was born May 23, 1937, to the late Erma Bowman Blackstock. In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her husband of over 60 years, Thomas "Tom" Bailey.
She was a devoted member of Granite Falls First Baptist Church and a dedicated health professional, always putting others needs before her own. She was truly born to be a nurse and caregiver. Scottie retired from Frye Hospital, after being a labor and delivery nurse for over 40 years, where she helped deliver hundreds of local babies. After retiring from nursing, she and her husband, Tom, opened the Antique Market in downtown Lenoir. They stayed in business for over 15 years.
Survivors include two sons, Scott Bailey (partner, Ingra Hart) of Granite Falls and Ben Bailey (wife, Kris) of Cary; daughter, Rebecca Bailey Watts (husband, Bryan) of Taylorsville; grandchildren, Alex Bailey (wife, Lori) and Mason Bailey; great-grandchildren, Jane, Suzanna and Samuel Bailey; brother, Larry Crane; cousin, Danny Bowman; among numerous other nieces, nephews, friends and relatives.
She will be fondly remembered for being a loving, giving and caring nana, mom, sister, and friend. Scottie will be missed by all that knew her.
There will be a graveside service and celebration of Scottie's life held at a later time.
The family requests donations be made to Samaritan's Purse at www.samaritanspurse.org.

First tome I met Scottie I was in labor, I also worked at FRYE as a nurse. I did get a chance to work with her and she was truly a great nurse and so fun to work with.

Scottie and I worked together at FRMC.. different departments but I never saw her without a smile and a greeting. She also was a great nurse and she did a lot for many of her patients whom she dearly cared for. So sorry to hear of her passing, but I know she is now an angel in heaven...thinking of you all.
