Dunn Marcus "Mark" Bailey
Mar 28, 1938 - Aug 24, 2020
Posted by Ann Weber
DAVIS FAMILY
FUNERAL HOME
DEWEY, WASHINGTON CO, OK
(permission granted)
Mark Bailey, 82, of Bartlesville passed away in his home on Aug. 24,
2020, after a hard-fought battle with leukemia.
Mark was born to Jeff and Mazie Bailey on March 28, 1938, in
Haynesville, LA, as one of 10 children. Like many rural families at that
time, they knew hard times but what they lacked in material possessions
they made up for in love and laughter. Mark graduated from Summerfield
High School in 1956 as class valedictorian and in 1960 received his B.S.
in Chemical Engineering from Louisiana Tech.
Mark was hired by Phillips Petroleum in 1960 and worked in its Borger,
TX, plant. On Dec. 29, 1961, Mark married Rachel Tripp in Springhill,
LA, and they made their first home in Borger. They settled into married
life and had four children - Elizabeth Lynette, Mary Lyneese (who died
shortly after birth), John Michael, and Kristie Anne. In 1963, Phillips
transferred Mark and Rachel to Bartlesville which became their
much-loved permanent home. They were committed Christians and attended
First Assembly of God (now Spirit Church) almost their entire 58 year
marriage. Throughout his life, Mark went on mission trips, enjoyed
playing sports, volunteered with school programs to tutor children,
volunteered at Agape Mission, served as both a Sunday School teacher,
and Superintendent, and a deacon in his church, and quietly gave
philanthropically. During this time Mark enjoyed watching his family
grow - first when daughter Lynette married his son-in-love Shon Jenkins,
and again when son John married his daughter-in-love Shawn Marie Davis.
Mark also became a first-time grandpa to his “borrowed” granddaughter,
Jenna (Lee) Kim. In 1998, Mark retired from Phillips Petroleum where he
had worked as a manager in Process Engineering, and later in Corporate
Engineering. His retirement let him enjoy the arrival of granddaughters
Amanda, Ashley, Abigail, and Anne Marie who were his pride and joy.
After retirement he also traveled but was always eager to be “back home
and in his own bed.” The last 12 years of Mark’s life were enriched by
his “good ol’ hound dog” Sophie. Mark left this life with his wife,
children and their spouses, and granddaughters gathered round his bed,
and with faithful Sophie’s head under his hand.
Mark was preceded in death by his mother and father, Mazie and Jeff
Bailey; sisters Catherine, Doris, Oleta and Betty; and brothers, Arnold,
Travis, and Joe; and one daughter Mary Lyneese Bailey.
He is survived by his wife of 58 years Rachel Bailey; daughter Lynette (Shon)
Jenkins, son John (Shawn Marie) Bailey, daughter Kristie Bailey;
granddaughters Amanda, Ashley, Abigail, and Anne Marie; sister Corrine
Maum; brother David Bailey; “borrowed” granddaughter Jenna (Ki) Kim and
“borrowed” great grandson Kaleb Kim, as well as numerous other family
members.
He will always be remembered and loved. But most of all, he
will be missed.
Mark’s family will receive friends at the Davis Family Funeral Home and
Crematory – Walker Brown Chapel, 918-333-7665, 4201 Nowata Rd,
Bartlesville, on Sunday, from 3-5 p.m.

Sunday from 12-5.
Funeral services will be held 10 a.m. on Monday, at the Spirit Church,
with Dr. Darryl Wootton officiating.
Interment will follow in the Dewey
Cemetery. Services are under the direction of Carter Davis and the Davis
Family Funeral Home and Crematory – Walker Brown Chapel.
