Laura Skelton Bailey's Obituary
Laura Skelton Bailey passed July 18, 2023, after a brief battle with cancer. She was born September 3, 1967, to Ronnie and Dirinda Walker Skelton in Fayetteville, Ar. Laura was preceded in death by her grandparents Ed and Irene Skelton, Hila Mae Walker and her in laws Joe and Janell Bailey.
Laura is survived by her parents and her loving husband Scott Bailey and children Ally Bailey and Austin Bailey all of Fayetteville, her sister Diane Skelton of Fayetteville, her aunt and uncle John and Paula Walker Wesson of Houston, TX, and their children Michael (Liesl) Wesson of Auburn, AL and Dan Wesson of Houston, TX, and too many friends and co-workers to mention.
Laura loved her family only like a wife, mother, daughter and sister could. She was the rock of her family and could always make things better. She was adored by her husband Scott and the rest of the family. She could not have been loved more. Laura had a 31+ year career at Washington Regional Medical Center in Administration. Every employee and co-worker she came in contact with loved and admired Laura. Her work ethic was impeccable, and people referred to her as a walking computer. Her family wishes to thank everyone who cared for her during her brief illness and made her passing as easy as could be for her and her family. Our thanks cannot express our gratitude.
