Mrs. Betty Fay Bailey: Obituary

Betty Fay Bailey 6/29/1941 – 8/15/2016

Most people knew her as Grandma Bet or Aunt Bet. She raised 21 kids other than her three. She loved Christmas and put up enough lights and decorations for all to see. She was a very happy and giving person. She loved life and has taken strangers off the street, so they would have a warm bed and a good meal.

She survived breast cancer and a massive heart attack. She made it 5 1/2 years, before she passed. She was from Paulding Co., but moved to McCaysville, GA. six years ago.

She is leaving behind: Rachael A. Roux-Day, daughter; Norman L. Blankinship, Glen Christian Blankinship, Billy Joe Henson her three sons, and Steve Bailey her step-son.  She also leaves behind four sisters, Lois Allen, Irene (Opel) Brooks, Ann Blankinship, and Ethel Swafford, as well as many grandkids and great grandkids, nieces and nephews.

She will be cremated and a memorial will be planned at Full Life Gospel Ministries on August 27th, at 12:30 pm in Villa Rica GA.
