[Oe List ...] Living Tributes for Marianna Bailey.

Tue Aug 4 14:17:07 PDT 2020

Dear Marianna and Trish

We send our thoughts and prayers across the ocean from Australia. You and Bill were the first EI/OE folk we ever stayed with - in the Los Angeles House in December 1969 – our first wedding anniversary – on our way to the Academy in Chicago. Thankyou for the journey that began a couple of years earlier in Sydney, and continues today with spirit colleagues across the world – the crimson line! Thankyou for being one of those great spirit women.

Grace and Peace, John and Robyn Hutchinson.

Dear Marianna,

We hope your time of transition is being marked by joyful remembrances of the kindness you bestowed on so many via social media.

May your family, friends, and colleagues recall your sweet and profound thoughts as you prepare to join in body and spirit with the Mystery. That same Mystery that sustains us all even now in these uncertain times.

Dear Epitome of Southern Charm, we greet your last days in honor for crossing your path today and back in the days of ''the Institute" full of expanding knowledge and spiritual awakening...

Kindfully yours,

dawn collins

 We love the Final Reality because the Final Reality loved us first.

Dear Colleagues,  

At the request of Tom and Tricia Bailey, I’m  sending out this note and asking for memories and stories, poetry, songs and prayers of care for Marianna.

Marianna has been diagnosed with a painful cancer and has entered Hospice at the Deerfield Assisted Living in Asheville, NC.  Please send e-mails that the family will share with her to Tricia and Tom at Tricia.bailey813 at gmail.com <mailto:Tricia.bailey813 at gmail.com> .  Tricia’s cell phone  is 828-782-0644.   Marianna has stopped all other medication, so Trish requests that replies be made soon.  

John and I were never assigned with the Baileys, except at lots of councils and summer programs, but a special kinship developed because of our common Mountain Heritage.  They were from Mt. Airy, NC, and John’s home was just over the mountain in Galax, VA.    After we both retired from our global travels, we’ve enjoyed a meaningful relationship as NC neighbors again.    Marianna’s gracious southern manner is matched by a fierce resolve to be a powerhouse of care and action in whatever she touches.  That same resolve is seen in her decision to have no more testing or treatments.    She and Bill received a wonderful  formal recognition  by the city of Asheville for their devoted work with Asheville communities and the environment.   I will have to share that article with you later.  

We send care to Tom, Lynn and Nan and their families as they care for their dear mom in her farewell journey. 

Marianna, you are loved!  Journey on with Grace and Peace,  

Lynda and John Cock

Davidson, NC
