Leah Bailey Death, Obituary – We recently learned that Leah Bailey passed away on January 1, and we wanted to inform those seasoned XARSC members and volunteers who may not have been aware of her passing about the news. During the many years that she was actively involved at the prior center, she volunteered the most of her time at the monthly luncheons. She did this in the previous center. It was a surprise and an unexpected setback in our plans. LEAH, MAY YOU FINALLY FIND PEACE.
After having spent her childhood in New Ulm, Leah obtained her management degree from the Carlson School of Management at the University of Minnesota. Leah was born in Tracy, Minnesota, and she currently resides in New Ulm. While she was a student at the University of Michigan, she became engaged to the man who would later become her husband, Peter Bailey. They celebrated their wedding day on November 25, 1989. In addition to being a devoted wife and loving mother, she was a fantastic mother, sister, and friend.
Her list of accomplishments includes all of these roles. The thing in her life that brought her the greatest satisfaction was when she was able to spend time at the cabin with her family. She devoured books like there was no tomorrow, and you could frequently find her cuddled up in her favorite chair, with a good book in her hands, a fire blazing in the fireplace, and the music of a calming piano filling the room. She was a voracious reader. Everyone who had the honor of being a part of Leah’s life will feel a profound sense of loss due to the fact that she passed away at such a young age. She will forever hold a very special place in our hearts.
