Obituary of Harold Bailey
Harold "Harry" Russell Bailey, age 88, of Hudson, passed away on Wednesday, June 1, 2022, at his home surrounded by family. Harry was born on October 19, 1933, in Ogden Center, the son of Edwin and Ruth (Hamilton) Bailey. Harry proudly served his country in the United States Army from July 7, 1953 to June 18, 1955. On September 24, 1955, in Riga, Harry married Laura Jean Goetz and she survives. Harry started his work career at Revco Manufacturing until he eventually realized his dream of owning and operating a grain farm. He was a member of St. Stephen Lutheran Church in Adrian, enjoyed fastpitch softball, baseball – especially the Detroit Tigers, and loved spending time with his grandchildren and great grandchildren.
In addition to his wife of 66 years, Laura, Harry is survived by his children, Gregory (Kelly) Bailey of Hudson, Kirk (Tamara) Bailey of Boone, NC, and Kris (David) Bailey-Rupp of St. Paul, MN; brother, Don Bailey of Adrian; 10 grandchildren; and 15 great grandchildren. He was preceded in death by his parents; brothers, Herbert, William, and Richard Bailey; and a sister, Betty Mallory.
