GLENS FALLS – Sharon A. (Streeter) Bailey, 72, of Knight Street, went peacefully with the angels, surrounded by her family at her home on Wednesday, March 1, 2017.

Following graduation in 1962 from Queensbury High School, she began her working career in the insurance industry.
On August 6, 1966, she married Robert H. Bailey. They shared 17 loving years together before he passed away on April 19, 1983.
After her marriage, Sharon was the personal chef for the Warden at Great Meadow Correctional Facility in Comstock and then a stay at home mom. When her children were older, Sharon began working for Petrolane Gas and remained there for several years. She retired from Northern Mechanical Services in Queensbury.

Sharon spent time volunteering at Amanda’s House in Glens Falls. She will always be remembered for her quick wit and her wonderful sense of humor. Sharon loved celebrating and decorating for every holiday, especially Halloween. Above all, her two granddaughters, Bailey and Kennedy, were the light of her life.
