Marcia Ann Bailey, 82, Russell County, KY Marcia Ann Bailey, of Russell Springs, Kentucky, passed away peacefully on August 27, 2026, at the age of 82. Born on August 2, 1944, in Clay County, Tennessee, Ann was one of thirteen children born to George and Elise Burnette. She lived a life defined by faith, love, family, friendship, and devotion to others, and those who knew her will remember her kind heart, warm smile, and the genuine care she showed to everyone she met. One of Ann's greatest joys was supporting Bill and her son, Kevin, in the Tennessee Walking Horse industry. She treasured the countless horse shows, events, and gatherings that became such an important part of her life. Whether she was cheering from the stands, helping behind the scenes, or simply enjoying the fellowship of friends, Ann embraced every opportunity to support those she loved, and through the horse community she formed lifelong friendships and cherished memories that brought her great happiness throughout the years. Ann will be remembered for her compassion, strength, and servant's heart. She was a woman of deep and abiding faith, lived out quietly and humbly. She rarely, if ever, spoke an unkind word, and moved through life with gentle grace in everything she did. Her home was a place of warmth and hospitality, marked by loyalty and kindness, and she was genuinely beloved by all who were fortunate enough to know her -- an uncommon woman who will be sorely missed. In addition to her parents, Ann was preceded in death by one sister, Addie Jo Williams; and three brothers, Roy Burnette, David Burnette, and Charles Burnette. Survivors left to cherish her memory are her beloved husband, Bill Bailey; three children, Kevin (and Mary Lynn) Bailey, Kristi (and Michael) Tigue, Kenny (and Ellen) Bailey; ten grandchildren, Whitney (and Adam) Ellis, Bryce (and Nicolette) Bailey, Tyla Bailey, Bailey (and Kayla) Tigue, Hugh Tigue, Chloe Tigue, Lily Tigue, Samuel Bailey, Seth Bailey, and Silas Bailey; eleven great grandchildren, Landri, Livi, Huck, Ann, Braxton, Jace, Jack, Evie James, Silas, Annabeth, and Jackson; four brothers, George Thomas Burnette, Jimmy Burnette, Ralph Burnette, and Eddie Burnette; and four sisters, Juanita Dale, Virge Odle, Janell Baumgartner, and Vickie McLerran; as well as numerous nieces, nephews, extended family members, treasured friends, and members of the community whose lives were enriched by knowing her. While her family mourns her passing, they find comfort in the memories she leaves behind and in knowing that her example of faith, devotion, and quiet grace will continue to live on through those who loved her. Memorial services will be 4pmCT Sunday, August 30, 2026, at Bernard Funeral Home, with Bro. Troy Coffey officiating. Visitation will begin at 1 and continue until time of services.
