Debbie Lynn Bailey

Debbie Lynn Bailey left this Earth on October 21, 2024, to be with the angels. Debbie was born January 30th, 1953, in Lafayette, Georgia to Wayland and Jesse Ingram. Her family moved to Colorado in December 1957 where she continued to live for the remainder of her life.

On May 1st, 1970, she married her soulmate, Michael Fredrick Bailey Sr. They went on to have seven children and they also adopted a son. Debbie loved her family, her friends, her dogs, but most of all, her grandchildren. When she was able, she played an active role in helping raise many of her grandchildren, never missing a holiday or a special event. Even when she could no longer be as active in their lives, she would text them and play online games with them. She would also take screenshots on her phone of all the events she had missed and would talk about her grandchildren to anyone who would listen. She had so much pride in being their Nana.

Debbie leaves behind her husband of 54 years, Michael Bailey Sr., of Grand Junction, Colorado.

She also leaves behind her sons: Michael (Jennifer) Bailey Jr., of Junction City, Oregon, Christopher (Audrey) Bailey, of Grand Junction, Colorado, William (Sam) Bailey, of Price, Utah, Jody (Katie) Bailey, of Grand Junction, Colorado, and Barry (Becca) Welch of Grand Junction, Colorado.

As well as 18 grandchildren, 6 great-grandchildren, and her dogs that she loved so much.

She also leaves behind her brothers, Wayland (Rhonda) Ingram Jr. and Michael Ingram, both of Grand Junction, Colorado. As well as her lifetime friends, Linda Foster and Ruth Anderson, of Grand Junction, Colorado.

She joins in eternal rest, her son Justin Dewaine Bailey, her daughter Cynthia Ruth Bailey, her sister Linda Ingram-Trefz, and her parents. She will be missed.
