Jane B Bailey

Jane Bosserman Bailey, age 72, a long time resident of Marietta, passed away surrounded by family on June 15, 2020. She was born on October 15, 1947 in Adrian, Michigan. Since her father was a minister, her family moved many times in her youth. She had the talent of making friends wherever she went. Jane married the love of her life, Clayte Williams Bailey, on April 4, 1970. Their love story is one for the movies. They met when Clayte was in Vietnam during the war in 1968 and Jane wrote letters to soldiers to boost morale. Clayte was one of her pen-pals. After his service, Jane and Clayte married and began their life together in Atlanta, GA. Reaching their 50th wedding anniversary was one of her proudest achievements. She spent more than 25 years as a Kindergarten Paraprofessional at Hollydale Elementary where she passionately poured into her students.
