Helen Bailey Obituary

Bailey, Helen E. 52, of Cape Coral, FL, formerly of Chicago, IL, peacefully left this earth with her husband by her side, at home, on Thursday, June 5, 2014 in Cape Coral. She was born March 23, 1962 in Biloxi, MS. Helen began her career as a Dental Tech in the United States Navy. She met her husband Bill during that time. They chose to make Chicago their home, until their recent retirement. As a devoted mother, Helen was an active Girl Scout Leader, an involved parent at Queen of Martyrs and participated in many other activities involving her daughters. While the girls were in elementary school, Helen attended Prairie State University where she graduated Magna Cum Laude with a degree in Dental Hygiene. As a RDH (Registered Dental Hygienist), Helen was able to plan her schedule around her children. Micki and Lorena always came first. Helen and Bill enjoyed their involvement in the motorcycle community, and were active in Abate of Illinois and HOG. She was a proud member of the American Legion Post 0991 (Worth, IL). Helen never knew a stranger. She is missed by all who knew her. She is survived by her devoted husband of 28 years, William "Bill" Bailey; her mother, Lois Snowden (George) of Gainesville, FL; her two children, Christine "Micki" Bailey and Lorena "Lori" Bailey; her sisters, Lorena Dugan (David) of Melbourne, FL, Alberta L'Huillier of Thomaston, GA; her brother, Robert Alexander Mitchell, III (Theresa) of Rockledge, FL. In addition, Jack (Kathy) Bailey, Donna Bailey, Kevin (Sue) Bailey, Carol (Wally) Goodyear, Dave (Mary Jo) Bailey and Tim (Kathy) Bailey. Helen was blessed with the love of many nieces, nephews, great-nieces, great-nephews and longtime friends. Helen was preceded in death by her grandmother, Alberta Mitchell; father, Robert A. Mitchell, Jr.; her brother-in-law, William "Bill" L'Huillier, father-in-law, John F. Bailey; and mother-in-law, Louise Bailey.

Dear Bill, Micki and Lorena,
Words can't express how sorry we are for your loss. We never met a woman more in love with her family. Bill you and Helen were one of the best couples we ever had the pleasure of knowing. We had no idea how sick Helen was with how strong the two of you were throughout this ordeal. You couldn't have loved each other any better. Hopefully knowing that will sustain you. Helen will live in our hearts forever.
You are in our thoughts and prayers. Our sincerest condolences,
Tugi & Dave Zubik

Always a smile . . . a life well lived.
