Thank you Lynda for sharing this news. I was thinking about Marianna all weekend. I recall her gentle gracious smile, and twinkle in her eyes. A beautiful, enriching soul, who welcomed me. With profound gratitude for a life well lived. Isobel Bishop Sent from my iPhone

Yesterday morning, there was a small East Coast earthquake whose epicenter was Sparta, NC and its neighboring town of Mt. Airy, NC, the hometown of Marianna and Bill Bailey. Yesterday I sent a note to “our favorite Mt. Airy colleague” thus the subject line below. Marianna died that evening.

Our care to the Bailey family in this earth-changing event in their lives, and celebrate the gift of Marianna’s life to so many of us. Lynda Cock

Daughter Lynn Brailsford has posted some lovely photos on Facebook.
