Larry E. Bailey, age 89, of Prescott, MI., passed away peacefully at his home on August 5, 2025, surrounded by his loving family. Larry was born on January 16, 1936, in Kittanning Pennsylvania to the late Victor and Pearl (Clever) Bailey.

He married the love of his life, Harriet (Thompson) Bailey on October 25, 1958. They had 67 amazing years together and raised 5 children. Larry was a plant manager specializing in plastic extrusion. He would travel to various locations to help open and run new manufacturing plants.

Larry and Harriet retired to the Prescott area where he enjoyed watching the wildlife, especially the deer. He would go on car rides just to watch the deer in the area. Around home you could always find him tinkering in the garage. More than anything else though he loved spending time with his family.

Larry is survived by his loving wife, Harriet; children, Tina (Gerald) Osgan, Connie (Stanley) Sawdon-Bailey, Cindy (Dave) Spohn, and Chrisy (Andy) Erdelyi brother, Daniel Bailey; 12grandchildren, seventeen great-grandchildren, and many nieces and nephews.
