Doris Elaine Bailey
Doris Elaine Bailey, 86, of Fowlerville passed away peacefully on October 23, 2025. She was welcomed into this world on April 4, 1939, the first born in a set of twins and second daughter and to Thelma and Leo Wall. In January of 1958, Doris married the love of her life, Jerry L Bailey. They spent just over 67 years together in marriage and were separated by seven months before being reunited in Heaven. She cherished the life of wife and mother, welcoming six children into this world: Debra, Kirk, Kathleen, Thomas, Fred, and Dr. Jerry II.
Doris has spent the last 53 years at the family home in Fowlerville, creating a place where one could always find comfort and support if you were family or friend. Doris spent many years serving Crossroads Church of God with her beautiful voice and piano talents. She volunteered for many roles with the Fowlerville Athletic and Band Boosters. After the kids had grown up, Doris enjoyed traveling and competing with The Sweet Adelines. She also appreciated quieter moments, like the daily drives that she and Jerry shared as the years passed.
Doris is survived by her children and their spouses—Debra, Cindy Bailey (Daughter-in-Law), Kathleen (Byron), Thomas (Belinda), Fred (Mary), and Jerry (Pamela)—as well as her grandchildren: Michelle, Krista, Barbara, Michael, Thomas Jr., Richard, John, Sam, Maggie, Jerren, and Keegan. There are eleven great grandchildren as well.
She was preceded in death by her husband Jerry Bailey, son Kirk Bailey, mother Thelma Wall, father Leo Wall, sister Delores Hunter & brother-in-law Jack Hunter, brother Donald Wall & sister-in-law Joyce Wall.
The family is celebrating a life well-lived at Crossroads Church of God 3940 Pinckney Rd, Howell, MI 48843 at 12 noon on Saturday, November 22, 2025, with a luncheon to follow. In lieu of flowers, the family ask that donations be made in her memory to the Capital Campaign Fund of The Crossroads Church of God or Heartland Hospice 1300 Eisenhower Place #1390 Ann Arbor, MI 48108.
