She could spend five minutes with a person and know almost every detail of their life. For 25 years, she used this talent as a fundraiser for the American Heart Association. She also followed this calling throughout her life when she became a stewardship director for St. Paul's Episcopal Church in Richmond, VA, sales consultant for Mary Kay Cosmetics and a whole host of department stores. Her family likes to say, she could "sell ice to an Eskimo," but to her it was about connecting people. Marian was a strong, independent woman who valued education and a good work ethic. An avid reader and lover of historical fiction, one book at a time was never enough. In her final days, she was drawn to the stories of her childhood home of Charleston, S.C.

A memorial service will be held Sunday, February 9, 2014, at Bon Air United Methodist Church at 2 p.m. where the family invites friends and relatives to celebrate the life of Marian Phillips Bailey and her amazing journey through music, worship and the sharing of personal anecdotes. A small reception with refreshments will follow at the Church. The family would like to thank the staff of St. Francis Memorial Hospital and Bon
