Mrs. Bailey was an active member of the Ladies Auxilary while attending St. Francis of Assisi Catholic Church in Shaw. Lather on, she moved to Leland and became a member of St. James Catholic Church.
Nannie had a love for animals, especially cats. She quickly became known as the Leland Cat Lady, and many folks dropped cats at her home. She graciously took them in and cooked for them. It was a running joke with her family that the cats got to eat better than some of them. She also had a love for crocheting and she made many beautiful pieces that she passed along to many friends and family. She also loved to work jigsaw puzzles, play bingo, and bowl as long as her knees held out.
Her sense of humor was like none other and she loved to make people laugh by telling jokes. Most times she would burst out laughing before the punchline was ever told.
Mrs. Bailey was preceded in detah by her parents, Dominic Biagioli and Anna Pirani Biagioli; sisters, Amerina Mei (Louis), Florinda Pieralisi (Gus), and Levia Lyons (Paul); two brothers, Ramiro Biagioli and Evo Biagioli (Helen). She also lost two sons, Charles Dexter Bailey, Jr. and Lloyd Allen Bailey.
She is survived by one daughter, Mary Louise Olson (Bob) of Leland; five grandsons, Charles Dexter "Jargo" Bailey, III of Humble, TX, James "Sluggo" Bailey (Rachel) of Brandon, MS, Michael Lloyd of Iuka, MS, R. Christopher Welch (Melanie) of Independence, KY, and Zachary S. Duer of Cincinnati, OH; eleven great-grandchildren , Brianna Bailey, Victoria Bailey, Jame "J.J."
