Maureen Bailey Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Oct. 7, 2024.
Maureen Ann Bailey, 55, passed away on September 22, 2024, in Seattle, Washington. She was born on August 20, 1969, and was the youngest of seven children. Maureen was a beloved figure in her community, known for her kindness and selflessness. She consistently put the needs and feelings of others before her own and demonstrated remarkable perseverance throughout her life.

Maureen attended St. Bernadette for her primary education and graduated from Evergreen High School. She furthered her studies at Highline Community College. Professionally, Maureen dedicated many years in the food service industry before transitioning to a career as a web designer for Blackbaud, where she contributed significantly until her passing.

She was a lifelong member of the St. Bernadette Catholic Church, participating actively in the community she grew up in. Her faith played an important role in her life and provided her with strength and comfort during times of adversity.

Maureen was a dog lover, including her two most recent rescues Karyl and Koosh. She loved taking them for long walks and to the dog park, a place where she made many good friends. She was very creative and enjoyed cooking, decorating, and hosting family gatherings, especially for the holidays. And she loved to travel, especially to the ocean. Above all else, she loved her sons, Jacob and Jonah Humphrey.

In addition to Jacob and Jonah, Maureen is survived by her brothers, Paul, David, Marty (Cha), George (Jackie), Jon (Denise), and sister Mary (Janna), and many nieces and nephews. She was preceded in death by her parents, George and Gerry Bailey.

The funeral services will be held at St. Bernadette on October 18 at 11 AM, followed by the interment at St Patrick's Cemetery at 1 PM. Bonney Watson and the Archdiocese of Seattle, located in SeaTac, Washington, are assisting the family with the funeral arrangements.

We were saddened to hear of Maureen“s passing. Our daughter, Kalina was classmates with Jonah and Jacob. My memories of Maureen include that of her working at St. Bernadette caring for the kids. She would invite the class of 2014 to her home to work on projects for the school. In fact, we purchased a Portrait of St. Bernadette (St. Bernadette...through our eyes, Class of 2014) at the school auction which Maureen helped the kids put together. It has since been hanging on our wall here at home. Our condolences to Jonah, Jacob and to the family. God bless Maureen and may she rest in peace. With Sympathy, Darlene, Kalina, and Bo Cordero.

I met Maureen at St. Bernadette. She worked in the kitchen and I worked across from there in the Extended Day room.
She was so fun to be around. She joked with the kids and was so genuine. She and I worked together at Extended Day for a short time. It was so great working with her, picking her brain and working things out with kids and parents.
I enjoyed having Jacob and Jonah at Extended Day too. She was a very involved parent at St. Bernadette school and with the Parish.
I loved her laugh, sarcasm and sensibility!
Rest in peace Maureen, I'm so glad to have known you.

Although I was Maureen's godmother (as her mother was mine), I hardly knew her at all. We always lived far away from each other. It wasn't until she was already grown and the mother of two sons that my husband Howie and I visited Seattle and were able to spend some time with her. She made us feel so welcome! I remember her as a bundle of energy organizing a barbeque and inviting the family. She made everything fun. I'm so sorry to hear of her passing. I send condolences to all of you family members and friends. Know that my prayers are with you. I'm sure my Howie is enjoying having her in heaven with him. Kay Thompson (cousin)

When George and I were newlyweds (1983) in Caribou, Maine; Maureen who was 14 at the time made some hand painted ceramic ornaments and mailed them to us for our first Christmas. I still have them and think of her every time I put them on our tree
