Christine Asbell Bailey

On Monday, September 20, 2021, at 2:50AM Christine was traveling in her truck going southbound on Highway 27 in Lafayette County and collided with a vehicle traveling northbound. Christine did not survive the impact.

Christine lived in Tallahassee with Matt Dekle, the father of her children, Cyrus (15y) and Freya (2y). Christine also lived in Hawaii with her former husband, Jay Drye, and the father of her daughter, Dasia (11y).

Christine loved to travel! At a moment’s notice her bags were packed, and she was ready to go – north, south, east, or west – was of no concern. Of course, with her four children tailing right behind her!

Everything Christine did was for her children - Symon, Cyrus, Dasia, and Freya. She was a proud mother and a hard worker. She provided her children with a home, home cooked meals, and clothing four children could not have been easy. Her happy place was with her children.

Christine is survived by her parents, Charlotte L. Alguire (Scott) and Jonathan L. Asbell (Jackie); maternal grandfather, Allen L. Dallis (Winona); paternal grandfather, James E. Asbell (Kathy); maternal great aunts, Kathryn Walker (Terry) and Audra Watts (Ralph); maternal and paternal brothers, John Scott Rich and Jordon Asbell (Shelby); maternal aunts, Tracy Brim (William) and Jean Jackson (David); paternal uncles, Jimmy Asbell (Rhenda), Jeff Asbell (Mandy) and Jacob Asbell; paternal aunt, Kristen Asbell Cupp (Jason); first cousins: Jessica, Joshua, Justin, and Jayda Brim; Jennifer Asbell, Joshua, Jeremy and Caitlan Asbell; her step sisters, Jamie Cannon (Chris) and Morgan Brown (Trent); and so many more aunts, uncles, and cousins.

She was predeceased by her son, Symon L. Gower; maternal grandmother, Linda Faye Dallis; paternal grandmother, Mary Jean Manual (Gordy).
