A NAVY WIFE DIED TODAY...

AGCM Fred Baillie, USN, Ret.

Lucille Marie (Barry) Baillie, born 7/10/34 in Kansas City Kansas, enlisted on 30 June 1956 St Anthony's church, Washington DC and served honorably until 01 March 1985...During that time, she raised six kids, moved 15 times, deployed to Germany, Guam, Hawaii and always kept a safe and happy, if not an immaculate home. She was a loyal and trusting friend who put up with more crap than the law allows waiting for her housemate to grow up...but she perservered held on...she stuck it out...and we are all the better for it.

At 1830 Pm today...Monday 04/02/01...at the West Florida hospital...room 656 on the cancer floor...after a two and a half year battle with lung cancer that spread to her brain and her liver...after all the radiation and chemotherapy that was possible...she gave up the fight and is now resting peacefully. She was my lover, my wife, my friend and the mother of my kids...I loved her far more than I knew and I miss her already. She passed quietly with each of her six kids, three grandkids and friends closeby.
