BAILEY, Noel
Noel (Sonny) Bailey died on Monday, October 22, at a Charleston 
hospital. Born on March 25, 1933, in Pritchardville, S.C., he was the 
only son of the late Thomas E. Bailey and the late Eva Mae O'Quinn 
Bailey. He is survived by his three daughters, Cynthia Lynne Thibault 
of Columbia, S.C., Emily Sue Bailey of Water Mill, N.Y., and Dessiree 
Noelle Bailey of Portola Valley, Calif., from his marriage to Doris 
Goff Bailey. He is also survived by an extended family of many cousins 
that were special to him, particularly the family of Bob and Janet 
Holmquist. Mr. Bailey was a graduate of the University of South 
Carolina and served in the U.S. Army. He became a CPA in 1964 and 
worked in accounting for over 30 years, later retiring from the S.C. 
Department of Insurance. He was a native of Beaufort County and 
derived his greatest pleasure from times spent boating and fishing the 
rivers of Port Royal Sound with friends and family. He worked with a 
variety of environmental organizations to preserve the marshes of the 
low country and captured their beauty over the course of many years in 
photographs. A memorial service will be held at 3 p.m., on Wednesday,
October 24, at the Port Royal United Methodist Church in Port Royal, 
S.C. His family will receive friends at 2 p.m. in the vestibule of the 
church. In lieu of flowers, the family requests that memorial 
contributions be made to either of the following charities: the S.C. 
Chapter of the American Heart Association, P.O. Box 6604, Columbia, 
S.C. 29260, or the Columbia Chapter of the Sierra Club, P.O. Box 2388, 
Columbia, S.C. 29202. Arrangements by J. HENRY STUHR, INC., MOUNT 
PLEASANT CHAPEL. (Published Oct 24, 2001)
