May Peace be with you and your loved ones, Kennetha. 
With Sympathy, 
Tori Knight Ferguson

Ann and I spent many years working together through our jobs in the United States Power Squadron.We became close friends. She had a wonderful family, and took pride talking about their achievements. We managed to get into mischief no matter what, including trips to get Ann her rabies shots.  Losing Ann will leave a hole in my heart, but I would not trade a day of our friendship. Will always miss her and that wonderful smile. Rest in peace, friend.

Ann was a very special person and a great friend to Nance and I.  My parents first met Ann when she was the First Lady to Chief "Pou" Bailey.  My family has been intertwined with Ann for a very long time.  As I progressed at the National level, Ann was super supportive of Nance and I.  She will surely be missed by everyone who knew her and especially by us.

Ms. Warren, 
My deepest sympathy and prayers to you and your family. I’m thinking of you all as you celebrate the life of your mother. Wishing you and your family comfort, peace and love during this difficult time. 


America's Boating Club of Raleigh extends our sympathy to Gary,  Ann's  family and friends  on her recent passing.  Ann was a past commander of our club and volunteered wherever help was needed. She led by example and was gracious and friendly to all. We will miss her and are blessed to have known her and learned from her as part of the ABClub of Raleigh family.


We send our sympathy and prayers to Ann's family and friends. Words cannot begin to describe Ann Bailey and our love for her.  She was a true Southern lady, a devoted friend, an active member of USPS, D27, and ABClub of Raleigh. She was a master mentor and spirited gal;  there was never a dull moment when we were together.  We will always cherish those moments and rejoice in the many "adventures"  that we shared over years of friendship. We are indeed blessed to have had her in our lives and to have had her play such an important role as well.  We thank her for her advice, love, laughter,  and guidance. While we will miss her; we are stronger because of her and cherish many, many memories. Our prayers and thoughts to the family and may happy memories and "adventures" comfort you as well.

Ann will be missed by me and the members of National Social Activities Committee. She was our treasurer, past first lady, and mentor. She was always so kind and generous willing to help what ever the need. A gracious hostess. She was a friend to me.

We are saddened to hear of Ann's passing. She was a leader, mentor and friend to all of us in District 27 of the United States Power Squadrons.  She taught us well and rejoiced in our successes as she guided us along our paths.  She will be greatly missed but will also be greatly cherished. 

Ann was a true Southern Lady. It was my pleasure and privilege to work with her on committees in ABC (USPS) for over 25 years.  She was a good mentor and teacher to me.  I did my jobs better because of her. Ann was a gracious hostess and my visits in her home will always be fondly remembered. I will always cherish the good times and I will miss Ann’s long telephone calls to “catch up.”


I am so sorry about Ann. I knew her for several years while working at the United States Power Squadrons Headquarters in Raleigh. She was a very thoughtful and beautiful person and I know she will be missed. My thoughts and prayers are with her family and friends.

Dear Gary, and all of Ann's relatives,
I am so sorry for your loss. I loved her so much, and she always had a smile on her face and such a kind, Christian spirit. Ann was always polite to everyone she met. Ann had a lot of friends throughout the country and I am incredibly blessed to be among them.
My prayers are with all of you,
Tammy Brown


We are so sorry. Ann has been Sandies friend since she was married to the judge. We know Gary and how much he and she have  meant to each other. She was instrumental in Bob and Sandie getting together.  When Sandie lived in Durham, she and Ann used to ride to her house in Fort Macon, . We have such fond memories  of her that have no limits. 
Love and prayers  to the family. 
Bob and Sandie Howd
