Mr. Hubert Lee Bailey, Sr. was born in Augusta, GA on September 29, 1941. His late parents are Nathan & Lillian Bailey. Mr. Bailey survived by his sister. His brother Billy Bailey passed away at a young age. We pray that he had a chance to ask the Lord to forgive him before his life was cut short. Mr. Bailey was taken from us at the age of 77 at his home on December 17, 2018.
He was a retired mechanic, but he had many hobbies he enjoyed. He never met a stranger and loved to talk to anyone and everyone he came across. There wasn’t much that he couldn’t fix or do and he also enjoyed coming up with new inventions.
Mr. Bailey, was loved by his children and will be greatly missed by his family, friends and all who knew him.
He was married to our mother Sallie McCoy (Laster) for 22 years and never loved another women and never re-married again. They remained friends even after being divorced for 30 years.
Together they had 7 children; their sons, Hubert Lee Bailey, Jr. (Donna Bailey), Hastin Odom (Angela Odom) and William Odom; daughters, Penny Bailey (deceased), Angel Langley (Ricky Langley), Judy Odom (Mike Hosington) and Deborah Sneed (Ira Sneed).
His grandchildren are Hubert Lee Bailey, lll, Brittany Itehua, Alisha Bailey, Tyler Melton, Mandy Johnson, Bubba Odom, Rebecca Serrano, Chase Odom, Lindsay Odom, Matthew Odom, (PJ) Thomas Laster, Derrick Kilgore, Samantha Ladun and Bradley Johns and 25 great grandchildren.
We would like to thank the staff at Sand Hills Community Center located on Wheeler Road in Augusta, GA. The friendly staff there looked out for our Daddy and he enjoyed the community center.
His ashes will be laid to rest with his daughter Penny Ann Bailey, on Wednesday, February 13, 2019 at noon at West View Cemetery, 2051 Division Street, Augusta, GA. It will just be a small gathering of his children who did not get a chance to say their good byes before he was taken from us. Any of his family and friends are welcome to join us.
