Coletta "Jean" Bailey

Devoted wife of the late Robert A. Bailey, loving mother of Robert (Carla) Bailey, Deb (John) Kruse, and Donna Ivanov (Chris), dearest grandmother of 6, great grandmother of 3 with 2 on the way, dear cousin and treasured friend of many.

Jean's life was marked by her deep love for family and her vibrant personality. As the devoted wife of Bob, a professional hockey player, Jean found immense joy in cheering him on from the stands and taking care of their three beloved children. Her laughter was infectious, and she was known for her ability to light up any room with her humor and wit.

Jean had a passion for entertaining, often hosting gatherings filled with laughter and good cheer. She cherished these moments, sharing stories and jokes that left everyone with a smile.

Outside of her lively social life, Jean found peace and happiness in the simplicity of yard work and relaxing in the sun. She had a special knack for gardening, turning her outdoor space into a beautiful sanctuary.

Jean's legacy is one of love, laughter, and an enduring zest for life. She will be deeply missed by all who had the privilege of knowing her.

Friends and relatives are invited to meet and celebrate Jean's life at a Funeral Mass to be held on Friday, May 31, 2024, at 10 AM at St. Mel's Catholic Church 14436 Triskett Ave. Cleveland, Ohio 44111.

In lieu of flowers, donations can be made in Jean’s name to the Poor Clares Sisters, Cleveland, Ohio and the Animal Protective League (APL), Cleveland, Ohio.
