Mary Bailey Obituary
Born on January 7, 1944, Mrs. Bailey was the daughter of the late Faye Rhodes Sherer and Pressley Reid Sherer. She was preceded in death by her cherished husband, Jerry Wayne Bailey, who departed in 2007; her sister, Lutie Sherer Culp of Edgemoor; and her brother, Dr. James Pressley Sherer of Charlotte.
Mrs. Bailey is survived by her loving children, Meredith L. Cornwell of Fort Mill and Ashley Cornwell Brittain (Darren) of Chester, along with her treasured grandson, Colin Brooks Nutter, son of Meredith Cornwell.
Mary was a devoted mother, grandmother, and a woman of profound faith. She dedicated herself to caring for her loved ones and lived her faith through compassion, service, and grace. She leaves behind a legacy of love that will endure through the lives she touched.
A graveside service for family will be held on Friday, January 2, at 2 p.m. at Eastview Baptist Church Cemetery officiated by Rev. Dr. John Nowaczewski of Covenant Presbyterian Church, Rock Hill.
In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to Covenant Presbyterian Church, located at 1830 Celanese Rd., Rock Hill, SC 29732.

Mary Lane, was my husband's first cousin. My husbands was the son of Faye Rhodes Sherer's brother Harold W. Rhodes, Sr. and Eva Stephenson Rhodes. Mary was a loving and caring person. She will be dearly missed. I wish the Rhodes' had known of her passing. I Have contacted a few already to inform them of Mary's passing. Prayers for the loss of your mother. Sylvia Rhodes

Mary, my beautiful beloved friend, I treasure the memories of times we shared. I know God sent me to Christ the King Church so that I would meet you. I know you looked forward to being with Jerry in heaven and I will think of you being happily reunited. I will always love you my sister in Christ
