Marshall Seymore "Jim" Bailey, 71, passed away peacefully at home on February 10, 2023. He was born March 18, 1951, in Charleston to Leonard Ivan "Buddy" Bailey and Dorothy Johnson Bailey. He was preceded in death by his father and older brother, Robert D. "Bob" Bailey. Jim was a graduate of Nitro High School, where he was an outstanding athlete. He later attended West Virginia State University. He was employed as an instrument technician in the chemical industry for many years, and he finished his working years with the Charleston Housing Authority. Jim is survived by his wife, Janie Coffman Bailey; sons James Richard "Jack" Bailey and Aaron Marshall Bailey (Megan); as well as his mother, Dorothy Johnson Foster; much loved baby sister, Marlene Black; and sister-in-law, Belva Bailey. He was a member of Aldersgate United Methodist Church in Sissonville where he loved singing in the men's choir, volunteering his time mowing grass, and fellowship with his church family. For many years, Jim coached baseball in Cross Lanes, Sissonville, Ripley and American Legion. His 2000 American Legion team was the West Virginia State Champions. He was the Scout Master of Pack 19 in Sissonville and was PTA President at Wallace Heights Elementary and a member of Lions Club. Jim always hoped that he influenced young athletes and scouts to work hard and pursue their goals. Also surviving are his most cherished blessings, his grandsons Alexander Bailey and Ethan Bailey of St. Albans, and Campbell Bailey and Asher Bailey of Sissonville.
