MaryAnne Beaver Bailey October 20 2020

Bailey (Beaver), MaryAnne – Age 56, of Lake Echo, went to be with her Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ at home on October 18, 2020 with her loving husband by her side. This marked the end of her seventh courageous battle with cancer. Born in Schefferville, Northern Quebec, she was the daughter of Denise (Guilbault) Beaver, Northwood Manor, Halifax and the late Douglas Beaver, Port Dufferin. MaryAnne is also survived by her loving husband, J. Greg Bailey of 35 years; his mother, Dorothy (Macdonald) Bailey, Truro; her older brother, Leslie D. and Gay (Harley), Lower Sackville; younger brother, J. Charles and Shelley (Johnson), Sackville, NB; and half brother, Joe Budgell, Oshawa, ON. Also surviving are her much loved nephew and niece, Max and Peyton, Sackville, NB, to whom she always gave great love and friendship. MaryAnne is also survived by many much-loved family members on her husband’s side.
Her kind heart and overwhelming generosity were evident to her family, friends and church family. Her faith and trust in God increased as her body failed. Her passing into His loving arms is a testimony to 2 Cor 12.9, “And He said to me, ‘My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness.’ Therefore, most gladly I will rather boast in my infirmities that the power of Christ may rest upon me.” MaryAnne loved and trusted Christ as her Savior and found strength in the Psalm 23 and Isaiah 12:2 which she often quoted to all, “…I am confident and unafraid…”.
MaryAnne graduated from Cobequid Educational Centre, Truro, Nova Scotia Teacher’s College, Truro, and Dalhousie University, Halifax, and earned an Acadia University Certificate of French Proficiency (Masters Equivalent) May 2013. She met the man of her dreams, Greg, June 27, 1984 and, after a short engagement (from June 27, 1985-Aug 24, 1985) they were married in Truro, while she was still a student at the NSTC. They lived in Truro, Halifax, Chester and Dartmouth, moving as her studies and career necessitated, before settling in Lake Echo in 1989 where they resided until now. She taught elementary core French from 1987-2007 in over 25 schools, mostly in the former Halifax County and Halifax Regional School Board grades 4-6 since 1988. In 2001, she worked for the Terry Fox Foundation in Halifax. She assisted with the construction of eight churches, one house and dozens of roofing jobs, which she enjoyed immensely. She loved her church family and served as the first female Sunday School Song Leader, a Teller, Nursery Committee, Social Committee, Music Committee, Worship Teams, Choir Director (14 years), DVBS, and most recently LEFBC Go Team. MaryAnne loved to serve the Lord where she could. She also loved to travel, and to run, which she and Greg combined on their second marathon together in Paris, France. She will fondly be remembered as the best wife and a wonderful French teacher. She was a passionate spokesperson for the Terry Fox Foundation in both Nova Scotia and New Brunswick. In 2012, MaryAnne was recognized by MLA Keith Colwell for her tireless work in the community with the Terry Fox Foundation, organizing over 50 runs for her schools and community which has been noted in the NS Legislature History books dated October 29, 2012. She was also a strong supporter of the War Amps, The Lung Association, and the MS Society among others.
A special thanks to doctors Bill Bradley, Rayma Macpherson, Robert Grimshaw, James Bentley, NP Nicole Fulford, the VON and the palliative care unit at the QE II and to family and friends who gave support from 1994 to 2020.
Visitation will take place in Lake Echo Fellowship Baptist Church, Lake Echo, on Wednesday, October 21, 4 to 7 p.m. with funeral service to be held on Thursday at 2 p.m. with Pastor Scott Mackenzie officiating. A family burial to follow at the Bailey family plot in Belmont.
