Denise Bailey Scanlon

Denise was born in New Iberia, LA on November 9, 1959 to Mary and James (Jim) Bailey both of whom preceded her in death.

Denise is survived by her loving husband of 31 years, Patrick Scanlon, her siblings Cheryl Bishop Boyd (Rich) of Folsom, CA, JT Bailey III (Carol) of Belle Chase, Michele Bailey of New Orleans and her many nephews and nieces whom she loved dearly, Ryan Bishop (Norma), Adam Bailey (Amber), Scott Bishop, Meredith Runager (Justin) Lauren Traina and Evan Bailey, plus numerous nephews and nieces by marriage in Patrick’s hometown of San Diego, CA.

Denise attended Holy Name of Jesus elementary school, Mercy Academy and was a proud graduate of LSU. Denise spent the majority of her professional career as a Special Agent, Criminal Investigation Division with the Department of Treasury’s Internal Revenue Service investigating white collar crimes including insurance, healthcare fraud and financial crimes. Her last position prior to retirement was as a Supervisory Academy Instructor at IRS’ National Criminal Investigation Training Academy in Brunswick, GA as well as two Supervisory Special Agent positions in field offices.

Denise loved her family deeply and anyone who was lucky enough to have known her well, knew well that she had a special gift that always made anyone she spoke with feel as though they were the only person in the room and that they were so important to her; she genuinely cared so much more about others than she did herself, she was completely selfless.

She adored her beloved dogs Quincy and Belu and will be sorely missed.

The family will receive guests and visitation will be from 11:00 AM to 1:00 PM, with a chapel service taking place at 1:00 PM.

1 Peter 5:10 “And the God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory in Christ, after you have suffered a little while will himself restore you and make you strong, firm and steadfast.
