Tia Marie Bailey

Tia Marie Bailey

Marie Bailey, a resident of The Dalles, Ore., died at her home Sunday, Nov. 29, 2020, under the care of Heart of Hospice. She was 67 years old.

Tia was born in Lubbock, Texas, on May 7, 1953, and moved to The Dalles from Amarillo, Texas, in 1990. Tia was an RN and employed at Mid-Columbia Medical Center for 26 years until her retirement in 2016.

Tia is survived by her husband, Scott Bailey, and her daughters, Angel Steinke of Springfield, Ore., and Theresa Watson of Medford, Ore., and two stepchildren, Brandon Bailey and Amanda Bailey of Corpus Christi, Texas. Survivors also include siblings Mollie Lynch and her husband Jerry Lynch of The Dalles, Buddy Christenson of Colorado Springs, Colo., and Cheryl Nemmar of Waco, Texas.  Tia had eight grandchildren that she loved dearly.

In lieu of flowers, please make donations to Heart of Hospice. Tia was a devoted member of Gateway Presbyterian Church of The Dalles and had served as an elder. She also loved and enjoyed all the ladies at Calvary Baptist Church Women’s Bible study.

On behalf of Tia’s husband Scott and her family, friends and co-workers of Tia’s are invited to share in a memorial service at Gateway Presbyterian Church in The Dalles, OR, Saturday, March 27, 2021, at 1 pm PCT. Given ongoing COVID concerns, it is understandable some may not feel comfortable gathering. Gateway has graciously offered to live stream the service as well as keep it up for an extra day. Navigate to: www.gatewaypc.org, click on ‘Sermons’ and you will see the stream.

Social gathering at the church after the service is to be determined pending future guidelines on social distancing.

Again, on behalf of Scott and Tia’s family, thank you, everyone, for the outpouring of love, care and concern; it is much appreciated. Let’s remember this amazing woman who gave all of us so many years of life, love and laughter.
