Katie Bailey, 74

Katie Bailey of Milford died, apparently from heart failure, which resulted in an automobile accident, Thursday, Jan. 25, 2007, in Staytonsville, west of Milford. She was 74.

Mrs. Bailey was born April 14, 1932, in Baldwin County, Ala., daughter of the late Emanuel and Lydia (Schrock) Schrock.

She was a homemaker.

Mrs. Bailey was a hardworking, compassionate, multi-talented lady. She enjoyed sewing and quilting, and was a great cook, often making use of fresh ingredients that she harvested from the garden she tended with pride each year. She gave unselfishly of her time to her friends and family, took great pride in her children's accomplishments and was a devoted "partner" to her husband, "Pop Bailey," in his business ventures.

Mrs. Bailey was a lifetime, charter member of the Carlisle Fire Co. Ladies Auxiliary, Milford, and a member of the Milford Church of God.

In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by a brother, Amos Schrock; and a sister, Mary Curry.

She is survived by her husband of 57 years, James C. Bailey Sr.; two sons and two daughters-in-law, James C. Jr. and Margaret Bailey, and Jay E. and Sharon Bailey, all of Milford; three daughters and three sons-in-law, Jean D. and George Baker, and Joyce A. and Mark Nauman, all of Milford, and Dr. Judy L. Bailey and E. Marco Pinera of Dover; six brothers, Bill Schrock of Springfield, Va., Pete Schrock of Milford, Moe Schrock of Alexandria, Va., Tobias Schrock of Harrington, Jacob Schrock of Tucson, Ariz., and John Schrock of Dover; two sisters, Wanda McGinnis of Hartly and Mandy Hurd of Milford; and nine grandchildren, Charles Edward Bailey, Christine Bailey, Matthew Bailey, Mark Nauman II, James Patrick Bailey, Michael Colin Nauman, Will Nauman, Alexa Pinera and Nicole Pinera.

Friends may call from 6 to 8 p.m. Monday in Rogers Funeral Home, 301 Lakeview Ave., Milford.

Services will be 11 a.m. Tuesday in Reformation Lutheran Church, 613 Lakeview Ave., Milford.

Burial will be in the Milford Community Cemetery.
