Nancy Bailey Obituary
Born in 1952, Nancy was educated at Bishop Brady and Concord High. She carried a self-sufficient pioneering spirit and took great pride in her accomplishments. Known for her kindness, thoughtfulness, and sharp memory, she touched the lives of many with her warmth and loving nature.
Nancy found joy in creativity and the beauty of the natural world. She was passionate about stained glass crafts, creating pieces that reflected her artistic spirit. Nature hikes were another cherished pastime, offering her peace and a deep connection to the world around her. Her beloved dog, Katie Rose Keona, was a constant companion and source of comfort. She held her friendships close to her heart and treasured those who walked alongside her in life's journey, with daily affirmations of positivity and being kind.
She is survived by her mother, Clara Lemm Brogan; brother Paul (Alan Jesseman); daughter Martha Coss (Will); granddaughter Trisha Miller (John); grandson Matthew Miller (Sheena); and great-grandchildren Devin, Madison, Shane, Annabelle, and Lydia. She has gone to join her father, Edward J. Brogan, and friends who passed before her. Alpha Centauri will be missed by many.
Nancy's legacy of kindness and love will live on in the hearts of those who knew her. May her memory bring comfort to all who mourn her passing.
