Anne M. Haynes

Anne Michelle (Bailey) Haynes of Little Rock passed away on June 21, 2025, at the age of 66. Born on October 16, 1958, at St. Vincent’s Infirmary in Little Rock, she attended Holy Souls Catholic School, Mount St. Mary Academy (Class of 1977), Hendrix College, and the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences College of Nursing (Class of 1984).

Michelle was preceded in death by her paternal grandparents, Charles Council and Viola Tennison Bailey; her maternal grandparents, Frank James and Laura Mary Fox; her parents, Norman Lester and Ann Louise (Fox) Bailey; her brother, Norman James Bailey; and her sister, Freddie Jean (Bailey) Noll.

She is survived by her partner, Donald Chapman; twin brother, Charles Michael Bailey; nieces Laura Carter, Carol Noll, and Julie Kiam; and nephews Robert Bailey Noll and Logan Scott Shaw-Trudell.

Honorary (virtual) pallbearers: Jimmy Fox, Larry Fox, Frank Fox, Gary Schluterman, Celeste Fox, and Barbara Fox Waller.

A reception honoring Michelle will be held at a future, to be determined, date.

Michelle, like her mother, was a diamond-hard shining presence—filled with goodness, compassion, and love, in conflict with itself. We are made less by her loss.

“And there will be no more night; they need no light of lamp or sun, for the Lord God will be their light, and they will reign forever and ever.”

--Revelation 22:5 (NRSVCE)
