Tammy Sue Bailey, 56, went to be with her Heavenly Father on Friday, June 28, 2019, surrounded by family at Johnson City Medical Center. She was born in Elizabethton on July 27, 1962 to Jack Kyte and the late Barbara Deloach Kyte.
Tammy was preceded in death by her mother, Barbara Deloach, and her husband, Dean Bailey.
Tammy will be remembered as a loving and devoted mother and grandmother. She was quick to love and her sweet spirit of acceptance and generosity were experienced by everyone in her life. Tammy’s wit and sense of humor brightened a room and her nurturing instinct made her “mom” to many.
Tammy is survived by her father, Jack Kyte, and stepmother, Lori Kyte; sisters, Terry Kyte and Pam Jessee; and children, Travis Bailey and wife Frances Bailey and Tammany Markland and husband Chad Markland. Along with many nieces and nephews, her grandchildren, whom adore and will miss Tammy greatly, are Madison, Levi, Corbin, Mackenzie and Arizona Markland and June and Cora Bailey.
Receiving of friends will be held at Memorial Funeral Chapel in Elizabethton on Friday, July 5, from 6 to 7 p.m. with a memorial service to follow at 7 p.m. Condolences may be sent to our website at www.memorialfcelizabethton.com.
Memorial Funeral Chapel is serving the Bailey family.
