Hazel Millie (Boatright) Bailey, fondly known as “Granny”, 88, of Farmington, went to be with her Lord on September 9, 2026. She was born on February 19,1938 in Huntsville, AR to Jerdon & Della Byrd Boatright. She was preceded in death by her parents, her husband of 54 years, Chester “Babe” Bailey, her daughter Teresa Lynne Bailey, and her half sisters Charlene Evans and Lucille Baker.
She is survived by her son Marion Bailey and wife Gina of Farmington; grandchildren Lindsey White and husband Justin of Farmington, Rodney Bailey and wife Lauren of West Fork, and Oakley Pruitt and husband Stephen of Greenbrier; great-grandchildren Collins and Halle Lynne White, Brooks, Brayden, and Penny Bailey, and Grant, Mavery, and Holden Pruitt; her sister Chloe Pierce, niece Patricia Watkins, and nephew, Craig Pierce and a host of extended family who loved her dearly.
Hazel was a faithful member of the Farmington Church of Christ. She loved baking, and her family’s favorite was her coconut cream cake. She also made the best Thanksgiving dressing in the world. She deeply loved and appreciated God’s creation, no matter where she was, always finding beauty in the clouds and trees. She enjoyed road trips and rides around town to look at the beautiful fall trees. She and her sister Chloe shared a fond love of milkshakes and desserts, always choosing to eat those before their meal. She will be remembered for her endless love for her family and her sweet, caring, and kind spirit.
The family would like to extend their most sincere thanks to the incredible staff at North Hills Life Care & Rehab for their wonderful love and care for Granny over the last five years.
Family will receive friends on Saturday, September 12 from 10:00-11:00 A.M. at the Farmington Church of Christ in Farmington, Arkansas. Funeral Service will be held immediately following at 11:00 A.M. Final resting place will be in the Farmington Cemetery.
