Elizabeth Ann "Betsy" Bailey

June 29, 1947 - August 18, 2020

Mrs. Elizabeth Ann “Betsy” Bailey, 73, peacefully returned to her heavenly home on August 18, 2020 after a hard-fought battle with a long illness. Betsy was born June 29, 1947 in Middletown, Ohio to the late John and Ida Zecher. She graduated from Miami University, where she obtained her bachelor's degree in teaching and later a master’s degree at Northern Arizona University. She enjoyed being a special education teacher and reading specialist, but her true love was her family. She was an amazing wife and mother, whose smile would light up a room. Betsy was married to her best friend and the love of her life, Ron, for fifty fabulous years. They were blessed with three loving children, seven wonderful grandchildren, and one sweet, great-granddaughter. Betsy was preceded in death by her father, John; mother, Ida; and sister, Barbara. She is survived by her loving family including her husband, Ron; children, Christi and husband Chris, Roni and husband Addam, Kirk and wife Jennifer; grandchildren, Ryan, CJ, Jacob, Austin, Christopher, Caden, and Caroline; great-granddaughter, Audrina; her brother, Jack and wife Karen; her sister, Cathie and husband Ken and many beloved nieces and nephews. Betsy fought a hard battle, but her faith in God never waived. She is now at home with her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. She had no fear of leaving this home for the heavenly home, which she knew was awaiting her. In order to protect everyone during these challenging times, we will be virtually memorializing Betsy via the tribute wall on the Stewart Family Funeral Home Tributes section. We would greatly appreciate it if you would leave your sentiment or a fond memory of Betsy.
