In Loving Memory ofRobert Joseph BaileyMarch 14, 1947 - December 31, 2025
Robert Joseph Bailey (Joe) aged 78 of Baltimore, Maryland (Landsdowne) passed peacefully of natural causes on December 31st, 2025. Joe was born on March 14th,1947 to William & Ruth Bailey who preceded him in death. He is also preceded by his brother Richard Bailey, and Joe’s son Daniel F. Bailey. Joe’s companion and life partner of over 25 years, Deborah Richards, passed away just one day after Joe on January 1st, 2026. Joe is survived by his son Douglas Robert Bailey (Shelia), brothers William Bailey and Timothy Bailey, sisters Mary Moore (Harrold) and Eraina Bailey, Debbie’s nephew Louie, and many other nieces and nephews.
Joe was a proud American wartime veteran who served in Vietnam. He was a long time active member of Hope Presbyterian Church, Arbutus, MD. Joe loved the Lord Jesus Christ and was a dedicated Christian who served God and served others. He provided care, transportation, and help in numerous ways to church members, neighbors and friends of the Baltimore Highlands Senior center. Joe served for over 10 years as a volunteer at the senior center and enjoyed playing bingo with friends at the center frequently.
Joe had a heart of care and compassion for others. Some people say that Joe “allowed” people to take advantage of him. We believe that Joe served others from a heart of love and obedience to Jesus Christ. We believe Joe is in heaven with Jesus and has received a great reward for all the good, care & service he did for others during his many years.
“Whatever you do, work heartily, as FOR THE LORD and NOT FOR MEN, knowing that FROM THE LORD you will receive the inheritance AS YOUR REWARD. YOU ARE SERVING THE LORD CHRIST” Colossians 3:23
