Patricia Ann Beasley Bailey, age 69, of Birmingham, passed away July 17, 2020. She graduated in 1967 from Phillips High School. She was the proud mother of four sons – Wayland L. (Carrie Thomas), Kenneth J. (Terri Crowe), Kevin D. (Brandi) and Justin W. (Jayci) Bailey, grandmother of Kale Bailey, Lani (Jacob) Twilley and Brenden Bailey, step-granddaughters Megan Crowe and Brittany Maughon, and great-grandmother of Gracelyn Twilley and step-grandchildren, Jolee Isbell, Declan and Roman Maughon. Pat was a soprano soloist in her local church choir. She wrote songs for and sang backup with her sons’ band-known as The Southern Boys Band.

Welshans, numerous nieces, nephews, great nieces-nephews and cousins. She was preceded in death by her parents, Kinnie M. and Eva P. Beasley and sister, Rebecca M. Welshans. Pat loved writing music and singing. She was known as the “Singing Voice” throughout many church areas as well as the “Loving Cook” by many friends and family.

Her infectious smile, contagious laughter and “Bless Your Heart” will be missed but never forgotten by so many who knew and loved her, including the blazing trail of love, beautiful music and great cooking she leaves behind.
