Estela Alonzo Bailey, beloved mother, age 84 passed away peacefully in her sleep on July 29, 2020 after a long illness. She was born on May 28, 1936 in Archer City, Texas to Aurelio and Maria Alonzo.

Estela's desire to see the world followed two of her sisters enlisting in the United States Army serving 4 years as a Medical Assistant. She met and married Harold David Bailey during her Army service. She supported Sgt. Bailey during his tour to Vietnam. She also was able travel to Germany where she loved the people and culture.

While raising her two children see obtained a degree as a Registered Nurse degree from Midwestern State University. She worked as an RN for over 20 years including Wichita Falls State Hospital.

In passing time and healing Estela loved watching her son-in-law planting her flowers. Her favorite flower was the yellow roses. It brought her comfort to look at the flowers and the birds. She bravely fought this disease until God called her home.

Estela is survived by a sister, Ofelia Alonzo of Dearborn, Michigan, and a daughter Maria Patton-White and son-in-law Mike White of Houston, Texas and family in Wichita Falls, Texas. She was preceded in death by son Harold David Bailey Jr, and her grandson Eric Lee Patton.
