Dora J. Bailey passed from this world into Eternal Life on May 11, 2007. She spent her final weeks in the loving care of her family in Tulsa, Oklahoma. A Memorial Service will be held 11:00 a.m., Friday, May 25, 2007, at the Frank-Law-Jones Funeral Home in Mt. Carroll, Illinois.
Born Dora Jane Frey on October 29, 1927, she was a lifelong resident of the Savanna area, including Thomson and Mt. Carroll, where she was active in many community services over the years.
Diagnosed with terminal cancer in February 2007, Dora accepted her fate with courage and composure; and, although the disease took her life, it could not conquer her spirit.
Dora was preceded in death by her husband, William Bailey, Jr., and several brothers and sisters. She is survived by her son William Bailey III, her daughter-in-law Ruth, and her beloved grandsons Timothy and Thomas Bailey, all of Tulsa, OK. Other survivors include one sister, Helen Vranich of Milledgeville, one brother, Bob Frey of Mt. Carroll, and a number of nieces and nephews.
Her loving kindness and generosity will be missed greatly by her family and friends.
