Jane E. (Adams) Bailey

Jane E. (Adams) Bailey, a longtime resident of Malden, passed away on Thursday, April 20th, with her loving family by her side.  Jane was born in Washington, DC, in 1927, the daughter of George and Cora Adams.  She was raised and educated in DC.  In 1948, she married her sweetheart, William Bailey Sr. and the two settled down to raise their family.  They moved to Everett before finally settling in Malden.  Jane moved back to Washington D.C. for a short time, before returning to Malden 30 years ago.   For many years she worked as a seamstress.  She enjoyed sewing and it was a regular hobby at home as well.  Jane also enjoyed working on puzzles, dancing, watching baseball, and going to the casino.  She especially loved to watch her son sing in his church choir and was blessed to see him perform just this past Sunday. 

She is survived by her children, Althea Harvey of Malden, William Bailey Jr. (Charlesetta) of Clinton, MD, and Janice Avant (Herb) of Malden, her grandchildren Joy E. Bailey, Donnell Bailey Sr, of Malden, William Bailey III, and Keenan Bailey of VA, as well as 12 great-grandchildren and 13 great-great-grandchildren.
