OBITUARIES
TERRY GLENN BAILEY & PAMELA
HITT BAILEY Terry Glenn Bailey, 54, and Pamela Hitt Bailey, 57, of Center, Texas, died together in an accident on February 15, 2017. Interment was in Oaklawn Memorial Park, Center, Texas. Terry was born on March 13, 1962, in Center, Texas. He was a self-made man and rose to be one of East Texas’ most prolific entrepreneurs. Pam was born on August 26, 1959, and graduated from Stephen F. Austin State University with a degree in business. For 36 years together, Terry and Pam impacted their families and their community with their truly unique partnership which blended very different gifts. Terry was larger than life and could not help but to inspire. Pam, marvelously drew no attention to herself, while almost invisibly making everything in their complicated lives actually work. Terry caused every man to measure himself. Pam on the other hand, made everyone feel as though they measured up. They were preceded in death by, Pam’s Father, Charles “Slick” Hitt; Terry’s Father, Millard Bailey; Terry’s Brothers, Mitchell Bailey, Delane Bailey, Johnny Bailey. Survivors include, Daughter, Carmen Mackey & husband, Ryan; Son, Dustin Bailey & wife, Ginny; Mothers, Ann Hitt, Charlotte Bailey; Sisters, Katha Bush, Vicki Tomlin & husband, Richard, Treasa Donnan & husband, Jim.
