Roger Lee Bailey
Roger Lee Bailey, 65, Warsaw, passed away at 3:30 p.m. on Monday, Nov. 16, 2020, at Warsaw Meadows Care Center.
He was born on Feb. 22, 1955 in Warsaw, to Donald Elliott Bailey and Barbara Joan (Valentine) Bailey.
Roger was a lifetime resident of Kosciusko County, where he was a 1973 graduate of Whitko High School, South Whitley. He attended Wyoming Tech and graduated in 1977. Roger was quite handy with cars and detail work and enjoyed doing auto body work in the 70’s. Over the years he worked at many restaurants in Warsaw and loved to keep busy and enjoyed the people he worked with. His nieces and nephews thought he hugged like a pillow, and he was also known as a “Gentle Giant” at Warsaw Meadows Care Center. He will be dearly missed by his family.
He will be lovingly remembered by his sister: Carolyn Rule, Warsaw; two brothers: Rex (Helen) Bailey, Talbott, Tennessee); Mark (Linda) Bailey, Pierceton; two nieces and one nephew. He was preceded in death by his parents.
Roger’s life will be celebrated with a graveside service at 10 a.m. on Thursday, Nov.19, at Hillcrest Cemetery in Pierceton, and officiated by Lewis Collier.
Memorial donations may directed to the Animal Welfare League of Kosciusko County, 1048 S. 325 W., Pierceton, IN 46562 and would be appreciated by the family.
